There is a bank with license in Western Sahara. They have very high fees but do provide RUB accounts.
I wouldn't trust such a bank with a penny, but you dont really have much choice.
Other than that bank in Kazakhstan, Serbia and Armenia could work

I would like to say something about Raiffeisen in Serbia. I opened bank account there this summer, EUR and local also, I am from there. But, I am not living there, so they told me I need to put local time on my phone if I want to use online their app, there is some kind of glitch. So I do that, but apparently I am far away, or whatever, because it didn't work, and now my account is blockedsmi(&% So, if you are not live there, that can be a problem. But if you are there, everyone said it is really good.
Which turnover we talking about? If high, my advice is to avoid EMI and go for an high-street bank, in Turkey, Serbia, Armenia, Kazakistan...
Man who is working in bank and with whom I talked when I opened my account, said he was using in Greece without any problem, but he didn't change time on his phone, he left it on Serbian time (that is 1 hour before Greece, CET). I am far away now, so I can't left it on Serbian local time. I changed time before I used the app, but still I had problem. If you live outside of Serbia, it can︀ be problem. Just for vacation, maybe not, I don't know.
I'd imagine you are in need of something that is essentially a 'front-end' sitting on top of various EMI's & Banks...
There's a few out there, essentially you have dashboard money which you can turn into real money via SEPA bank transfer (or RUB equivalent) and where USD is concerned its Caribbean Dollar sitting behind USD (front end dashboard), you'd also have the ability for various cards for specific rails, for Example Visa/MasterCard for Eurozone/US, and Unionpay for China/Russia etc which on the front end appear as $ or Euro but backend is either Caribbean Dollar, or Euro's.
The problem ofcourse there is so many︀ moving parts, for examples, the Unionpay would sit on a bank in the Caribbean which︁ would correspond to banks elsewhere, their card system would be issued under the branding of︂ the supplier but be provided by a the Bank in the Caribbean but ultimately issued︃ via a US Card-vender.
... etc... which comes with a lot of risks with services︄ going down, providers cutting services to the ultimate end company thus you etc.

There is however a Private Bank in Switzerland that still deals with Rubles, CHF, EURO (might︅ also do $ can't remember) fees (maintenance about 1k a year, lots of paperwork filing,︆ card(s) provided by another swiss company (can't remember the name) but the bank has been︇ mentioned on here a few times...

Easiest would be in one of the CIS countries (Armenia/Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan/Tajikistan/Uzbekistan) as opposed to HK/SG as others have already said.
Whilst researching more about the current situation in Russia I came across Bank 131 opens corporate accounts in rubles, dollars, and euros (Current accounts for businesses | Bank 131) and I wonder if anyone has experience︀ with them as they claim to support transfers in both RUB and EUR in an︁ out of Russia.
