MOSCOW, November 6. /TASS/. The use of the dollar as a political instrument against Russia gives rise to concerns of other countries, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Certainly, not all of the countries are ready so far to close interaction as regards creation of some payment systems. On the other side, all the countries understand in some way that nowadays, when, for example, the global reserve currency, the US dollar, is started to be used as an instrument in attempts to suppress one of world’s countries, Russia in this case, everyone understands this may occur with everyone," Peskov noted.
"The countries, certainly, start thinking more and more that reserve, alternative methods of making payments are needed, and the alternative money transfer system," he added.
