The Russian central bank raised interest rates to 12 percent in an effort to prop the ruble and protect the Russian economy according to the Telegraph.
The news comes as the Russian government continues to spend reserve money on a rabidly devaluing ruble.
Key drivers of the currency collapse are a faltering Russian economy due to declining oil prices and an over valued stock market.
Estimates put the ruble at a 30 percent decline in the next few days.
