GUR expects that the aggressor state will fully control the circulation of the virtual ruble: it will monitor each operation, and the costs of digital rubles will be able to limit at the place of residence of the citizen or the type of goods.
Also, according to intelligence analysis, the Kremlin regime will be able to block citizens’ accounts without a court decision and automatically write off taxes and penalties.

Each digital ruble in the Russian Federation is assigned a unique code (it is as a series and number in banknotes). Electronic money will be stored in electronic wallets opened on a specially designed central bank platform.
