The ruble is expected to weaken further with the beginning of the winter holiday season

Absolutely, and then again when the Russian central bank has to open currency trade again after new year.
- Not if Trump forces Ukraine to give up the three occupied regions.
  
  That's not even an option. How do you figure Trump would be able to do that? It's ridiculous.
  There are limits to what Trump can do, without retaliation from the rest of NATO. Trump may be stupid, but he is not THAT stupid.
  
  What are "the three"?
  
  Five. Luhansk, Donetsk, Crimea, Kherson, Zaporozhye
Can we add pressure by investing into short positions on the ruble somehow?

Edit: I mean what would be viable options for small scale retail investors?
- Russias central bank stopped trading it.
  
  So it's probably even more worthless now.
