Putin on moving away from the dollar: “A separate issue important for both exporters and importers is the development of cross-border payment infrastructure. It is no secret, of course, that the reliability and trust in Western systems has been thoroughly undermined by the Western countries themselves. In this regard, I would like to note that last year the share of payments for Russian exports in the so-called “toxic” currencies of unfriendly states was halved. At the same time, the share of the ruble in export and import transactions is growing. Today it is approaching 40%.” Source: Russian Head
