“When it comes to our ‘friendly’ countries, like China or Turkey, which don’t pressure us, then we have been offering them for a while to switch payments to national currencies, like rubles and yuan,” Zavalny said at the time. “With Turkey, it can be lira and rubles. So there can be a variety of currencies, and that’s a standard practice. If they want bitcoin, we will trade in bitcoin.”
Zavlany is chairman of Russias Congressional energy committee
I would like to note that a few months back there was a vote in the UN security council to condemn Russias military operations in Ukraine. El Salvador was one of very few countries who didn't vote in favor nor against iirc.
