MOSCOW, April 26. /TASS/. The Bank of Russia sees the increasing risks of secondary sanctions and the complication of international payments and is looking for a solution, as foreign trade with friendly countries is actively growing, head of the regulator, Elvira Nabiullina, told a press conference following a meeting of the board of directors of the regulator.

"As for international payments, in general, we see an increasing risk of secondary sanctions and a complication of payments. We are in contact with our partners to look at how payments can be made easier, because foreign trade with friendly countries is actively growing," she said.
