Russian President Vladimir Putin underlined on Tuesday, while delivering a speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, that limiting the payments in dollars has undermined the trust in the West.
This step has, according to Putin, led many countries to think about conducting "payments in their own national currencies" and creating "new payment systems."
Meanwhile, talking about the ruble exchange rate, the head of state insisted that there are no "insurmountable" difficulties that cannot be overcome, adding that the situation is manageable.
