Mark your calendars, folks! On May 9th from 10:00 to 16:00, several shopping and entertainment hotspots right in the heart of St. Petersburg, Russia (not Florida) will be shutting down. According to the city administration's official announcement, this action is being taken to maintain peace and security during the grand Victory Day celebrations. So, get your shopping done early, because Gallereya, Big Guest Court, Passage, and other play spots will be temporarily off-limits, with stores closed and access restricted.

On top of that, the Moscow prosecutor's office is reminding the populace to steer clear of using drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) during those days.
So, what does this mean for our banks? Well, RBC Group has reported that they're warning folks about potential internet and movement disruptions due to these restrictions. Keep your digital fingers crossed and plan accordingly!
