As The Journalist reported earlier, US sanctions have drove down the national currencies of Turkey and Russia.

Thus, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that Russia will limit the use of the dollar because of the anti-Russian sanctions imposed by Washington.

«We have decreased to a minimum level our investment in the US economy. The dollar becomes a risky instrument in international settlements,» – the minister said.

In addition, Russia plans to switch to settlements in rubles, euros and Chinese yuan in order to reduce dependence on the American currency, Anadolu news agency reports.

According to Siluanov, Russia does not intend to impose mirror sanctions against US companies.

«These companies provide work for Russian citizens. We are also considering the possibility of switching to the national currency in the oil trade. American sanctions will hit the US itself,» – Siluanov summed up.
