I just completed an exchange for BTC using Bisq (peer-to-peer exchange application with no KYC), and it worked fine using SBP on the Russia side.

As we all know, the banks and transfer networks have all boycotted Russia because of the Ukrainian war. I realize this is intended to isolate the country and prevent foreign investment, etc., but it also causes a lot of practical problems for ordinary people like us with just a personal relationship connecting us to the country. How are people actually working around this problem? Looking for a solution, the only two ways that I see is either by having a bank account in a third country that can still transfer with Russia (ex: FSU satellite countries), or the more risky hawala system of personal exchanges (net transfer of $0). Both approaches require knowledge on the ground and connections...
