We’ll find a way to not only reduce our economic dependence on the U.S., but we will ensure great benefit from sanctions. We would be forced to use other currencies, to create our own system of regulation. We have excellent economic and trade relations with partners in East and the South, said Gklazief. If sanctions against state structures, we will be forced to acknowledge that we will not be able to pay back the loans from U.S. banks, he warned. Because sanctions are a double edged sword and if the U.S. freezes assets of our passive then our dollar will freeze well. This means that our banks and our businesses will not be able to repay their loans to the U.S. partners, he continued.
