Russia Urges “Independence” From “Imposed World Order”\u00a0Of US Financial System<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Following Russia signalling last week, its willingness to join the controversial payments channel Instex – designed to circumvent both SWIFT as well as US sanctions banning trade with Iran – new statements from Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov called on the international community to free itself from a purely US-controlled international financial system and US dollar dominance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We must protect ourselves from political abuses made with the help of the US dollar and the American banking system,” <\/strong>he said while addressing a ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement held in Venezuela, according to TASS<\/a>. “We must turn our dependence in this sphere into independence,” <\/strong>he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let us be multipolar in the spheres of finance and currency,”<\/strong> he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The senior diplomat was specifically addressing US-led sanctions and the tightening economic noose, including a near total oil export blockade, on the Maduro government in Caracas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comments also come after early this year the Maduro regime was<\/strong> stymied in its bid to pull $1.2 billion worth of gold out of the Bank of England<\/strong>, according to a January Bloomberg <\/em>report<\/a>. The Bank of England\u2019s (BoE) decision to deny Maduro officials\u2019 withdrawal request was a the height of US coup efforts targeting Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically top US\u00a0officials, including Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, had lobbied their UK\u00a0counterparts to help cut off the regime from its overseas assets, as we\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0at the time. Washington has further lobbied other international institutions, and especially its Latin American allies, to seize Venezuelan assets and essentially hold them for control of Juan Guaido’s opposition government in exile.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
