Answer to Question 1

This would make investing in Russia more attractive. To the extent that they can, Europeans would seek to invest more in Russia. Of course, the sanctions attempt to limit these additional investments but they may not be perfectly enforced. This means converting more Euros for Rubbles and driving up the price of Rubbles. Likewise, this makes borrowing in Russia more expensive.
