A company makes a smart decision to pause sales in order to ensure they're not selling their products at a loss due to the drop on the value of rubies....

One shouldn't expect otherwise.

Apple could purchase FX swaps and charge customers a "FX fluctuation surcharge". That's better than shutting down the store...

Or they could charge customers in Euro and let the customers' banks handle the F/X rate.

I would expect that to have legal implications, commerce in foreign currency is usually regulated in different ways.

Possibly? I buy quite a bit of services from SaaS companies in foreign countries as a US citizen with my American Express, am charged in CAD and EUR without issue (converted to USD on my bill).

In Russia specifically it is illegal to advertise a price in any currency other than the Ruble.
