Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseyev said that the government and the Bank of Russia are ready to use digital currencies in export-import operations.
With the help of such a tool, the government will be able to bypass the sanctions regime, and it will not be able to be controlled by American and European regulators. The State Duma supports such a mechanism, and prominent deputies Anatoly Aksakov and Mikhail Delyagin have already spoken in favor of its application.
The head of the Committee on Industry and Trade of the Lower House of Parliament, Vladimir Gutenev, also believes that cryptocurrencies can be used to circumvent Western financial restrictions.
