Russian President Vladimir Putin explained the need to leave the country from the dollar. According to him, Russia is forced to leave the American currency due to the actions of the US authorities, including sanctions. His words lead RIA Novosti.
“Russia will continue to leave the dollar if the United States cannot change politics,” he stressed. Putin indicated that the disclaim from the dollar does not matter. “We will work, but in the calculations we will reduce,” the president clarified. At the same time, he indicated that the return to the binding currencies to the gold reserves is hardly possible. According to the president, to facilitate settlements with partners in the former USSR, it is necessary to lower the ruble volatility.
Earlier, the spokesman for the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov called dedollarization, which is conducted in the country, a constant process, which takes place in many states. According to him, the reason for the desire of a number of countries to get rid of the dollar was anxiety about the reliability of the main reserve currency.
