It is under deliberate attack from the west as we have blocked the Russian central bank from using its massive foreign reserve to buy up the rubble as it normally would do. I think though the ruble will weather the storm; it is mostly used internally in Russia, the interest rates have been yanked up to 20%, and Russia still exports massive amounts of commodities (how they get paid I don't know? Chinese Yuan and Indian rupees maybe ...).
