The Russian president earlier spoke to reporters and relayed that his government is by no means using energy as a weapon against Europe amid the growing crisis, underscoring that Russia solely stands ready to help the region ahead of the looming winter months.
Offering more color on his earlier remarks, Russian President Vladimir Putin commented late Wednesday that the US is effectively undermining its position as the world's reserve currency by using the US dollar as a sanctions tool.
The remarks were made during an exclusive interview with CNBC's Headley Gamble at the end of the plenary session of the Russian Energy Week forum. The discussion touched on a variety of topics, including Putin's presidential term, military blocs and cryptocurrency, among other subjects.
Asked whether the US dollar is moving away from being the world's reserve currency, the Russian president commented that the US is actually "undermining its position" as Washington continues to use the dollar as an instrument of sanctions abroad.
"It is undermining its position as the world's reserve currency," Putin told Gamble. "The volume of settlements in dollars is shrinking, and the volume of personal reserves of the world's countries in dollars is also reducing."
"But we are not interested in completely stopping payments in dollars, and so far we are satisfied with, say, payments for energy resources in dollars, primarily for oil. But if the policy of the American authorities continues, as I have already mentioned, then we will not have to do anything, the United States will itself undermine confidence in the dollar," he noted.

"When other countries that use the dollar as a reserve currency or as an instrument of calculation see what is happening, they themselves have anxiety that the dollar can be used in relation to them in the same way," he explained, referring to the sanctions tool.
Just before changing gears, he emphasized that Moscow is closely watching unfolding events, and is analyzing and taking the necessary steps to ensure its long-term interests.
AUKUS 'Undoubtedly' Undercutting Regional Stability
The mid-September announcement that the US, UK and Australia would be engaging in a new trilateral defense partnership not too surprisingly ruffled some feathers - none more so than France, which already had its own defense deals with Canberra. Weighing in on the recent pact, Putin noted that its establishment and similar agreements are to a great extent the root of regional instability.
"The creation of blocs, including the mentioned one between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, is undoubtedly undermining the regional stability because
, it is good to be friends between each other but to be friends against someone is bad," he said. "This is undermining stability that we all talk about and care about."
