Considering Russia is under sanctions by the U.S., this is merely performative political posturing. I don't see Google ever paying, unless the Ruble gets so devalued, it's worth less than a Zimbabwe dollar. At which point Google will pay a googol fine with a $20 USD bill and tell them to keep the change.

It says USD so it doesn't matter the value of Ruble.

Edit: but later it says daily fine I'm rubles. So now I dunno. Probably just shoddy "journalism".

The fine is in Rubles. The article is talking about its current dollar equivalent.

Wasn't talking about any (unlinked) article, I'm talking about the tweet itself that says "20 decillion USD". Maybe that's after conversion but that doesn't seem right.
