The Russian economy could lose “billions of rubles” after a destroyed dam in the Siberian region of Buryatia caused a river to burst its banks and damage a key transit railway, according to a local Russian official.

It’s actually “billions” of rubles. Assuming for the sake of easy math that it were 10 billion rubles, that’s over 100 million usd. Not insignificant especially during a war. Obligatory fuck Putin.
Interpreting “billions” as 10 billions is IMHO stretching it.
Eh, I’d say “billions” could go all the way to 20 billion before switching terminology to tens of billions.
