Based on the Russian document, the Russian state, companies and citizens can settle their debts in the Russian ruble with the countries on the list. Furthermore, the Government Commission on Monitoring Foreign Investment must approve business between Russian companies and the states on the list.

Number of refugees coming to Hungary to increase significantly?

According to KárpátHír, the Ukrainian border guard asked all Ukrainian citizens not to cross the EU borders towards Poland. That is because there the traffic jam is already immense. They said that 16 thousand vehicles and 134 thousand people had crossed the border on Sunday. 84 thousand of them chose the Polish route.

Therefore, the border guard asked everybody to choose the border crossings to Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.
