“I’ll give you an example of Russia. They have had a 30% devaluation of the ruble over the past year. If the population begins to panic, then, believe me, even half a trillion in reserves will not be enough,” she said in an interview with the newspaper “Zerkalo Nedeli.”

Gontareva emphasized that she considers such a scenario very realistic and expressed concern that the deterioration of the situation in the Russian Federation may also affect branches of Russian banks operating in Ukraine and occupying 16% of the market.
