Russia did not consider the idea of using Petro, a state-sponsored crypto currency planned to be used in commercial operations with Venezuela.
RUSSIA: YOU ARE NOT A TIME OF PETRO
According to reports by the RIA Novosti newspaper on December 13th, this statement belongs to finance minister Sergey Storchak, who spoke to reporters this week. In October, the Venezuelan government officially launched Petro, which it hoped to restore its rapidly failed economy and skip western sanctions. President Nicolas Maduro has artificially raised the exchange rate Bolivar, the country's national currency, several times. High-level negotiations between Caracas and Moscow continue. But Petro's direct integration with Moskovo is outside the table.
Storchak summed up the situation:
Tı Our tax services and representatives from our central bank hizmet were acquainted with the crypto money Venezuela currently offers. But not more than that. When it comes to payments, it can't yet happen. Öd
CRYPTING CHOICE OF DROP COUNTRIES
Russia; He showed Maduro to refrain from criminal sanctions against the Venezuelan economy and to help Petro integrate into the international community.
This crypto-currency based on highly suspicious financials; He came with his own promotional group, in which he hoped to convince foreign currencies of various countries to accept the use of crypto currency in trade.
The project does not seem to work so much to change the lives of the citizens, the majority of whom are increasingly under desperate conditions.
If a link is established between Russia and Petro, it will also fuel other states' similar aspirations to overcome the bureaucratic obstacles and economic sanctions.
Unrecognized countries supported by Russia; - The two ın People's Republics. In Abkhazia, Georgia, Transnistria and Eastern Ukraine in Georgia - have expressed their plans to use a crypto currency to improve their economic situation.
Two of the three unrecognized states are currently using the Russian ruble. But the Transnistria have no legal status outside their own ruble.
