Because they’re under pressure to keep prices low.

Kyiv is currently entirely without power and heating after today’s attack. Authorities urged people to leave the city if they can. This is a humanitarian disaster, in case anyone didn’t know

Right now the gap is just 28.84 Billion rubles.
It’s depending on what happens tomorrow, it could be closed then. At that point it will be clear that they will not be able to cover just their bond expenses using the budget goal.

Looking forward, based on some of the numbers I’ve seen, I think we might be 3 or 4 weeks away from the point where it becomes painfully clear that it would be impossible to cover just the bond expenses using the Budget’s Placement goals
