Russia Turns to Barter Trade with China Amid Sanctions

Russia is trading goods with China to get around sanctions from Western countries.

Instead of using money, they're swapping things.

For example, Russia might give wheat to China in exchange for cars.

This helps them keep trading even though some banks are worried about being punished for doing business with Russia.

This method helps avoid direct money transfers and the scrutiny that comes with them.

This type of trading is becoming more common because it lets Russia continue to get what it needs despite economic pressures.
