I need to send money to my Russian bank account to enable me to meet my financial obligations there.
With SWIFT being shut down so bank transfer is no longer possible along with other providers like Western Union, Paysend and Paypal suspended can anyone help me find a way to send money back to Russia? Many thanks in advance.

As part of the sanctions, all financial transactions including credit cards have been suspended to Russia from many other countries due to the unnecessary invasion of the Ukraine. China is the only country currently supporting Russia.聽 I believe they are helping with cryptocurrency but China is nearly impossible to do banking with unless you have been in mainland China and opened an account.
