The prestige of the US dollar and the euro has been “greatly shaken” by anti-Russia sanctions, which now drive more and more countries to switch to national currencies in settlements with foreign partners, according to Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Indeed, against the backdrop of these thug-like sanctions games, the prestige of the dollar and the euro has been shaken, most importantly, [the role of] the dollar as the main reserve currency,” Peskov said in an interview with Belarus-24 TV channel.
The Kremlin representative drew attention to the fact that more countries are turning to national currencies in their mutual settlements.
