Dollar was used as a weapon against Belarus and Russia

Belarus and Russia have made a big step towards multipolarity. Mutual settlement in national currencies reduces the attachment to the dollar and dependence on the Western world. Director of the Financial Policy Department of the Russian Ministry of Finance told in detail about the process.

Ivan Chebeskov, Director of the Financial Policy Department of the Russian Ministry of Finance:

Of course, we can say that the settlements in national currencies that are now taking place with our Belarusian partners, primarily Belarus, are a step to move away from settlements in dollars and euros. The dollar was used as a weapon against our countries. We have switched to settlements in national currencies, and this promotes a mutually beneficial way of trade between our countries.
