As long as they are following the sanctions, this seems OK.
It might even be a net benefit since Russia has banned it's citizens leaving with any more than $10k in cash [0], and many Russians are now trying to depart. So they could now buy a bunch of cryptocurrency, get cans for the trip plus a bit, arrive outside and recover their cash. This is exactly what we want to prevent in the sanctions leaders and oligarchs, but what we'd like to encourage for the ordinary Russians trying to leave
