Paying Back Debt
When the US and EU cut off Russia from the SWIFT payment system, Russia cannot pay its debt.
This creates a demand for US dollars and some have suggested the Fed step in. The idea is not to aid Russia but to aid companies in the US and EU that Russia owes.
I suspect this is the second reason Putin did not expect to be cutoff from SWIFT. The first reason is the EU’s, especially Germany’s dependence on Russia’s natural gas.
