Yup. The Ukrainian government is clearly trying to prop up the value of the hryvnia. Certainly not very libertarian of them. But that's understandable during a war that's an existential threat to the country. Currency controls are just another (indirect) form of taxation, and they have damn good reasons to be collecting taxes right now.
