Key Takeaways
- The Russia’s special military operation has triggered a strategic push for de-dollarisation.
- Both de-dollarisation and de-Americanisation are framed as decolonisation efforts amid the Ukraine conflict.

Moscow: Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine launched the process of de-dollarisation and de-Americanisation, Dusan Bajatovic, general director of the Srbijagas natural gas provider and deputy chairman of the Socialist Party of Serbia, said in an interview with Sputnik.
“Russia’s role is enormous: de-dollarisation and de-Americanisation, decolonisation began when the imposed conflict in Ukraine started. It looked like a regional conflict, but in essence it is a struggle between Russia and the collective West, Russia and NATO, and if you really look at it – the East and the West, a clash of the majority of states and nations of the world with the colonial West,” Bajatovic said.
