The Russian currency was traded 2.1% weaker at 86.50 vs U.S. dollar, after hitting 87.23, its weakest level since March 2022.
"The rouble lost 2.2% to trade at 94.37 against the euro and 2.1% against the yuan to 11.95."
Meanwhile, Wagner mercenaries led by Yevgeny Prigozhin withdrew from the southern Russian city of Rostov on Saturday under a deal that halted their march on Moscow.
