This collapse occurred after an intense bombing campaign that hits Ukraine after the partial destruction on Saturday of the bridge that connects the Crimean peninsulaannexed by Russia in 2014, with Russian territory.
The ruble, which has strengthened in recent months, was also trading lower against the dollar and the euro, around one dollar for 62.9 rubles.
For its part, the stock of the oil company Gazprom collapsed and lost 25% due to an exceptional dividend of more than 21,000 million dollars, announced at the end of September by the energy giant.
The leader of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putinsaid on Sunday that the explosion at a key bridge linking Crimea with mainland Russia was a terrorist act planned by the Ukrainian special services.
“There is no doubt. This is a terrorist act aimed at destroying critical civilian infrastructure,” Putin said in a video on the Kremlin’s Telegram channel. “This was conceived, realized and ordered by the Ukrainian special services.”
Putin met with Alexander Bastrykin, head of Russia’s Investigative Committee, who presented the findings of an investigation into Saturday’s explosion and fire on the bridge.
