The pullback comes at a time when the dollar is already under pressure. The dollar index has fallen by over 10 percent in 2025, one of its steepest annual drops in two decades, before a mild rebound recently.

Porsche owners across Russia have reported that their fancy sports car has become undrivable or ‘bricked’. Drivers in Moscow, Krasnodar and other cities have reported engine shutdown, fuel delivery blockades.
