Russia Not Seeking De-Dollarization, Says Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is not actively pursuing de-dollarization, but is instead forced to use national currencies for international trade. He explained that certain foreign nations have restricted Moscow from using their currencies in cross-border transactions. Consequently, Russia is adopting national currencies to adapt to trade barriers rather than aggressively attempting to undermine the US dollar.
