Key quotes:

Russia has accumulated billions of rupees that are sitting in Indian banks.

Reuters reported that Russia and India have suspended negotiations over using rupees for trade between the two countries.

Russia prefers to be paid in Chinese yuan, which has become the most-used foreign currency in Russia.

Russia and India remain deadlocked in a currency dispute that has also frozen weapons sales between the two countries.

India won't pay Russia in US dollars over concerns that it may face secondary sanctions and won't pay in rubles because of worries about obtaining Russia's currency on global markets at a fair rate,

Recently, (Russia) agreed to use the (Chinese) yuan to for payments on a nuclear-power plant deal with Bangladesh, after previously insisting on using its ruble.

Yeap, I support Euro.

As an American, I support the Euro too. It really doesn't matter what currency is used. The benefit US of having THE international currency is tiny. It means that we can't do as much to manipulate it's value (control inflation) as we'd like.

It does mean however that your sanctions go a lot further, by wielding the threat of freezing foreign dollars.
