Russia's energy transactions are "de-Westernized": only gold, RMB and ruble settlements are accepted
Russia officially announced that all energy transactions will only accept gold, RMB and ruble, while clearing the euro share and no longer accepting any other currency. This move demonstrates Russia's toughness and confidence, which is equivalent to cutting off all domestic energy transactions with the United States and Europe.
This decision means that Russia's trade with other countries will be settled in rubles or RMB, or in equivalent gold. Russia would rather choose to fight to the death and return to the wartime mode, and resolutely stop using the currencies of Western countries.
In short, Russia's attitude is very clear: unless the United States and Europe use RMB or ruble to buy Russian energy, they will not trade. However, considering the huge amount of energy traded, this possibility is almost non-existent.
If the United States and Europe really adopt this method to buy Russian energy, the status of the ruble or RMB will be greatly improved. Even if it cannot immediately surpass the US dollar and the euro, it will definitely be on par with them. Such a result is undoubtedly a major victory for Russia.
