“The situation is not easy, rather it can be described as difficult in terms of this unprecedented economic war.

But there is a blessing in disguise," he said in an interview with TASS.

Peskov noted the weakening role of reserve currencies and the loss of confidence in the legal and financial systems in many countries.

“Roughly speaking, when you have invested money in a certain country, and you clearly suddenly realized that they could simply be taken away from you ... you, of course, if you are a reasonable investor, gradually begin to put your eggs in different baskets,” - concluded the press secretary of the president.

Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko earlier called on the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) to intensify work on the transition to settlements in trade in national currencies.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said that Russia would provide Belarus $1.5 billion for Minsk's participation in import substitution programs.
