    Putin rants about West's 'empire of lies' & hikes interest rate to 20%

    Rattled Putin rants about West's 'empire of lies' as worldwide sanctions reduce rouble to rubble:

    Desperate leader hikes interest rate to 20% sparking rush on ATMS, US cuts off Russia's central bank - and now even Switzerland slaps Kremlin with penalties

    The Bank of Russia raised key interest rate from 9.5 per cent to 20 per cent today as the rouble value tumbled

    Russian rouble dropped to as low as 119 per dollar in early trading Monday morning and also fell on the Euro

    It tumbled beyond previous low of 90 roubles per dollar - with it last at 109 - prior to the invasion of Ukraine

    Comes as Roman Abramovich allegedly flew out to Belarus to help broker a peace deal between the two sides
