Next week, finance ministers and heads of the Central Banks of Russia and Ukraine will discuss the use of the ruble in mutual settlements. This was announced by the press secretary of the Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Peskov. Commenting on the talks held on the eve of Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov, he said: "Cooperation was discussed in various areas, including in the energy sector, the rocket and space industry, aircraft industry and the credit and financial sphere." In the context of the latter, the possibility of making settlements in mutual trade in rubles was discussed, said Peskov.

Well, that’s nice. There would be more goods from Ukraine, otherwise you know the goods from China, insist ... that is, zae ..., I don’t even know how to be softer.

For example, I have an excellent jigsaw "Fiolent", I even sawed trees with it without any problems

I am engaged in radio-controlled aircraft models. Thanks to the Chinese. If it weren’t for them, they wouldn’t fly at all. Product level.

I had in mind children's toys, unhealthy clothes and poor quality food (I’m silent about the phones).

The ice has broken ... the integration process has begun

[Igor Vladimirovich]

Otherwise, it’s not necessary. Mutually beneficial interest is obvious. After all, Russia is facing Ukraine, not backwards like the West. A union in one form or another is inevitable.

[Aleksey42]

Yes, even in hryvnias, if only not in dollars and not in euros

[kesa1111]

Another step towards creating a regional currency.

[ZHORA]

We don’t care, but the Russians are pleased))))))))) And the pressure on the interbank market is less, with demand for the currency, it will be more stable the hryvnia, it’s easier to get the wood than the dollar or the euro ... And for the Russians, the inflow of foreign exchange earnings is less to country)))))

In practice, everything is correct. But a human convertible currency, without goods and gold is a piece of paper. It makes no difference what to calculate. In the national currency, of course, more convenient. After all, domestic purchases occur in Russia in rubles. Fuck the dollar needed. Because of him, by the way, the economy of the country of the Soviets collapsed. when oil fell in price.

Maybe at last our Yanyk will understand that if the old Europa dictates who to plant and who to have mercy on, what will they demand further (Serbia example).

[Max79]

Well, this, this European Union! Together we can do more things than with Europeans. In addition, we are fraternal peoples, whoever says anything!

In Italy, differences between dialects are such as those between Russian and Polish or Czech, but hold on to unity.
