Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday said Moscow and Beijing plan to use their own national currencies more often in trade deals as Russia's relations with the West deteriorate.
“The Russian and Chinese sides confirmed their interest in using national currencies more actively in reciprocal payments,” Putin told journalists during a press briefing with Chinese Leader Xi Jinping after talks at an economic forum in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok.
Putin said this would “increase the stability of banks' servicing of export and import operations while there are ongoing risks on global markets".
Russia has faced ever harsher sanctions since angering the West and Kiev by annexing Crimea in 2014 and backing separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
NOW WE TALKING. THIS IS HUGE!
I thought they have done so few years ago? Putin just need to eat the humble pie and trade using rmb as the main currency. China has every commodities Russia needs. Use rmb and exchange with Chinese goods.
And China will get Russia oil and paid them all in rmb. As simple as that.
By the by Turkey, Iran an Russia have decided to do trade in their local currencies while discussing over Syria...
Can't speculate on the date!!! But, one thing is certain - antagonizing Pak never goes well with the USA, be it coincidence, correlation, causality or anything else!!!!! The last time USSR was almost in the same crucible: Pak (-ve), India (+ve), Afg (war)!!!!

Russia, China sign deal to bypass US dollar
Apparently they keep forgetting to do it and reannounce it from time to time...sort of like Iran who keeps announcing it EVERY year.
So many short memories here about what was said in the past.

Bro, you are over-reading into this. Learn all about the big game in this excellent source: https://www.thebalance.com/yuan-reserve-currency-to-global-currency-3970465
These moves are in line with Chinese Yuan as a "global reserve currency" since 2015 [alongside a few others ]. Guess which organization is regulating this move? IMF.
In the world of economics, their is no such thing as cake-eating. Their is a price to pay for every adjustment. And their is lot of scare-mongering in the mix.
Do you know that a strong USD hampers progress of American manufacturing base vis-a-vis Chinese?
Chinese SUPPLY side is so strong that it continue to frustrate Americans to this day. Trump administration's trade war devalued Chinese Yuan even further - although it is negatively affecting Chinese economy as well.
With Yuan's slow transformation into a global reserve currency, Yuan's exchange value will be increasingly decided by foreign exchange markets and is most likely to appreciate accordingly. And this isn't good news for the highly competitive Chinese manufacturing base. As I pointed out earlier, their is a price to pay in this game.
Americans are becoming increasingly desperate to devalue USD because they want to stimulate their manufacturing base, but no sign so far.
IMF is at the center of this great game to make trade practices increasingly fair for the global players. So-called PETRO yuan have its drawbacks, my friend.
Another thing is the terms between two countries for trade. Do you think every country will blindly shift to Yuan for trade with China? Nope. Their are compromises to be had, and shifting from USD is not easy because it have its benefits [1]. And every country is sensitive in the aspect of safeguarding its interests in general.

In this very thread, you can see arguments about whose currency should dominate trade between Russia and China .
No such thing as 9/11 in this case. Deep down, Americans laughing.
Again I agree, unless Europe under pressure from US agrees to engage with Russia, Russia has no choice but to be locked in this warm embrace with china.
Though US has come around to recognizing this reality. If US agrees to engage with Russia, then Russia might find a way out. If not, china it is. But it still won't accept rnb as currency for trade unless it gets something substantial in return and I do not know what china can offer Russia apart from cheap consumer goods.

Now let's refresh our short memories with what the new reports actually said.Russia’s second biggest financial institution, VTB, signed a deal with the Bank of China to bypass the dollar and pay each other in domestic currencies
Wait, that not the same announcement. They just promise steps in the same direction. There goes the gloating.The Russian and Chinese sides confirmed their interest in using national currencies more actively in reciprocal payments
