20th August, 2022
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin confirmed, on Saturday, that Russia will seek to get rid of the dollar and the euro in trade and investment relations with partners.
Bankin said in a press statement that “against the backdrop of increasing geopolitical pressure from the West, the only way to ensure the stability of trade, economic and investment relations between Russia and its partners is to get rid of the use of currencies that have become “toxic”, and above all the US dollar and the euro, and to move to accounts in currencies. accepted, i.e. national currencies above all.”
He pointed out that the current model of the global financial system, which was established by Washington, turned out to be “unusable in the conditions of the multipolar world, and in essence it has turned into a tool to achieve the political goals of one group of countries.”
Bankin added that “it is clear that in the current circumstances the West intends to continue to exploit its privileged position, and we are pleased that many countries that follow the imposition of unprecedented and illegal sanctions against Russia, have begun to think about getting rid of the dollar in their foreign economic activities, for the purpose of ensuring its sovereignty.” LINK
