The "cashew currency" is very funny. Putin meeting with leaders of the global south, who are being threatened with reprisals by the US empire if they do business with Russia, is very smart.

Over half the worlds population is in the global south, and they are either siding with Russia or trying to stay neutral in the war. As bread, oil and gas grow scarce and/or very expensive. those countries will see who benefiting from the sanctions against Russia (the US) and who is suffering (everyone else).
