The Association of Independent Countries’ members are steadily increasing their collaboration and engagement, according to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Michosin, who noted that despite Western sanctions, Russia remains a dependable partner and ally.
Michosin added that the West’s desire to use protectionist measures and unilateral sanctions is related to the difficult times the world economy is currently experiencing in his speech at the beginning of the meeting of the heads of ministers of member states of the Association of Independent Countries.
The Russian Prime Minister emphasised the need to hasten the adoption of national currencies and phase out the dollar as a medium of exchange, pointing out that by using the dollar as a weapon, the West as a whole has damaged the reputation of its financial institutions.
