  Within the spin-fermion model for cuprate superconductors, the influence of
the intersite Coulomb interactions $V_2$ and $V_2'$ between holes located at
the next-nearest-neighbor oxygen ions of CuO$_2$ plane on the implementation of
the d_{x^2-y^2}-wave pairing is studied. It is shown that d-wave pairing can be
suppressed only for unphysically large values of $V_2$ and $V_2'$.
