“So far, the ruble’s depreciation, although sensitive for Zenit, is not dramatic,” says Alexander Medvedev – Football

Zenit CEO Alexander Medvedev told how a ruble depreciation affects the club.

“We have part of the income in euros, it is associated with the performance in the Champions League and with the sale of players, the income from sponsors in our rubles, and this basket allows us to fulfill all obligations.

While the fall, although sensitive, but not dramatic, we need to see how the situation will develop further, ”Medvedev said.

On the morning of March 9, the ruble fell sharply against the dollar and the euro amid a sharp collapse in oil prices after unsuccessful negotiations to reduce oil production in Vienna.

So, at some point, the dollar on the international Forex market exceeded the mark of 75 rubles. The euro exchange rate rose above 85 rubles. Both foreign currencies were at this level for the last time in 2016.
