BRICS Alliance Not Opposed to US Dollar, Diplomat Confirms

Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov stated at the NDTV Defense Summit that the BRICS bloc is not anti-Western and does not oppose the use of the US dollar for trade. While the alliance aims to promote the use of national currencies as an alternative, member nations have not sought to end reliance on the US dollar, marking a shift from previous de-dollarization rhetoric.
