MOSCOW - The ruble fell close to a historic low on Wednesday, as the dollar climbed past the key 80 rubles level for the first time since the shock plunge of the Russian currency in December 2014.
The ruble also fell against the euro, to 87.67 rubles per euro, in early afternoon trading as oil prices kept falling and Asian and European markets suffered another rout.
