“This topic, of course, appeared in discussions ... at working meetings through the Minister of Finance,” RIA Novosti quotes her.

At the same time, according to Lukash, the G20 summit is not the format that would welcome such a discussion, and it was impossible to discuss this topic at the common table.

“And with our BRICS partners, with friendly countries such as Turkey and other developing economies, of course, we have always discussed this topic and will continue to discuss it.

And they share our opinion that this is the way to the future,” she added.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that payments in national currencies would gain momentum.

He added that such calculations will eventually dominate.
