US dollars and rubles. File photoMOSCOW, Jan 28It is better to invest savings in assets, rather than keep in the form of cash in the current geopolitical situation, Grigory Sosnovsky, director of the regional network for working with wealthy clients BCS World of Investments, told RIA Novosti. «I recommend that the currency not be kept in dollars, but converted into dollar assets Serious sanctions can limit the circulation of currency in Russia, and direct sanctions against banks can hypothetically lead to the issuance of foreign currency deposits in rubles at a rate determined by the bank,» the expert believes. Inflation remains the main enemy of money, in modern conditions they do not survive. «Money is needed as an object of spending and investment. Now is not the time for cash,» Sosnovsky draws attention. At the same time, he notes that the issue of selling or buying currency is very difficult. If a person believes that the situation in the world will be discharged, then dollars should be sold. In case it seems that no one will concede, the parties will come to an open military conflict, followed by sanctions and counter-sanctions, then the currency is worth buying. «/>The analyst warned when it is better to refrain from buying currencyNow a more active sale of the dollar has begun due to the fact that the population understands that such a rapid growth of the currency is based only on the fear of a military conflict in Ukraine. «A Russian citizen is very optimistic (this is the norm for peace of mind in our difficult times), does not believe in war, which means he expects the dollar and the euro to roll back again as soon as the situation starts to defuse,» Sosnovsky concluded. In April 2014, the Ukrainian authorities began military operation against the self-proclaimed DNR and LNR, which declared their independence after the coup in Kiev in February 2014. According to the latest UN data, about 13 thousand people became victims of the conflict. The issue of resolving the situation in Donbass is being discussed, including during meetings of the contact group. However, even after the ceasefire agreements, skirmishes continue, in the DPR they announced the shelling of residential areas by Ukrainian heavy artillery. Moscow has repeatedly stated that Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements and drags out negotiations to resolve the conflict. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Kiev sent half of the entire personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine to the Donbass. Moscow expressed concern about the transfer of military equipment from NATO countries to the Russian borders and the increase in the number of Western instructors in the Donbass. Western countries continue to provide military support to Ukraine, including by supplying weapons that are used in the Donbass. mattress»
