Which brokers would allow me to profit from the ongoing economic war against Russia ? It seems that trading against the Russian Ruble is pretty straightforward. I can't find that currency on my current broker, Oanda.
Dukascopy have usdrub pair, i don't know other broker, may be you can search in myfxbook dot com for complete broker list, better watch oil price(Brent and WTI) movement if you want to play with ruble.... good luck 
No Pain, No Gain

anyone know a broker with eur/rur and usd/rur?
I have that pair available for trading on Hotforex and Tickmill. Spreads are a bit high but tolerable and due to very unpredictable nature of measures of Russian financial regulator (CBR) trading on ruble becomes quite risky deal. Sudden spikes from CB interventions or smth else may take out your good-leveraged position from market, so be aware of that high risks too. Anyway ruble has obvious correlation with oil and sanctions
so it might be an easy gain though..

{quote} Thanks
Ruble liquidity were restricted in Russia (to prevent attacks from those witty overleveraged bears pressuring rub), so most probably the only tradeable asset involving russian currency is USD/RUB. Don't see EUR/RUB on Hotforex nor on Tickmill, however both of them have EUR/NOK.
Is there any significant event coming in Russia so you are intending to short EUR/RUB? Just can't understand the sense of this trade. Maybe some important technical data or it's a secret?
Cheers?
