MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Russian central bank increased daily dollars offered via foreign exchange swap operations with banks to $5 billion from $3 billion, it said on Thursday, as Moscow ordered forces to invade Ukraine.
A senior U.S. administration official told reporters on Tuesday that Sberbank and No. 2 lender VTB would face U.S. sanctions if Moscow proceeded with its invasion of Ukraine, warning that no Russian financial institutions were safe.
