KYIV, April 13 – The devaluation of the Russian ruble after the introduction of new sanctions by the United States against companies, oligarchs and officials of the Russian Federation would not affect the Ukrainian currency market, according to banker poll.

"The new U.S. sanctions against Russian companies, oligarchs and officials provoked the fall of Russian stocks in the stock markets and devaluation of the ruble, while the hryvnia in recent days, on the contrary, has strengthened under the influence of the seasonal prevalence of the currency supply over demand thanks to the start of the agricultural season and the end of the heating season," Head of the Investor Relations Department of Credit Dnepr Bank Andriy Prykhodko said.
