There is no ban on the use of cash (including Euros) already on hand in Russia. However, the EU has prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, the supply of euro-denominated banknotes to Russia or to any natural person or organisation in Russia, or for use in Russia. The prohibition does not apply where the banknotes are for the personal use of natural persons travelling to Russia. For more information, please refer to the EU Sanctions Regulation (Article 5) .
