'debris' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'russian's ready to import british' is the wordplay.
'russian's ready' becomes 'ruble' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to import' indicates putting letters inside.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'ruble' enclosing 'b' is 'RUBBLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
