Russia Claims It Has Made Bond Interest Payments–But Says Up To U.S. To Make Sure They Go Through Amid Fear Of Default
Lisa Kim Forbes Staff
TOPLINE Russia’s Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Wednesday the country had attempted to make interest payments on two dollar-denominated government bonds, but said it was up to the United States to make sure the payments go through, amid concerns that Russia could default on its debt for the first time since the late 1990s.

“Russia say it did make the payment but no clear acknowledgement from the other side. What is going on?”
We’re trying to find a way to punish ourselves.
THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL...........
You can’t access your US Dollar reserves, and we have shut you out of US Dollar trading systems
Oh, by the way - why aren’t you paying your US Dollar debts?
Funny kind of war where the evil side carries out its obligations.
They get hundreds of millions a day from oil sales. They can use that. No one is touching Russia’s 650 billion reserves. That is frozen for World Court settlements for the damage done to Ukraine. Then there’s Putin’s personal accounts too.
I guess payments usually made through SWIFT, from which they are now blocked.
I presume they could set it up such that only payments into russia are blocked.
So why did Russia make these payments when some of the Putin fanclub financial geniuses told us how it was a huge win for them not to?
No one is touching Russia’s 650 billion reserves. That is frozen

Frozen is stolen. How would you like your bank accounts frozen? Stolen without a trial. The US overstepped and is now paying a huge price for that thievery. Every nation on Earth is noticing what the US did- they are tapering off USD’s. sauds taking Yuan for oil, India announces Yuan instead of dollars,the list is growing rather quickly.
There’s no downside to writing a check when you know the recipient won’t cash it.
Nor should we. Russia hates the West, NATO, and the EU so much they’re constantly threatening to nuke us...but they want access to our financial systems?
Screw Russia.
Russia is offering payment in gold backed rubles.
” That is frozen for World Court settlements for the damage done to Ukraine. Then there’s Putin’s personal accounts too.”
That money will never be used as a settlement. It will be stolen by the deep state.
Khaddafi had an estimated $200 billion in wealth. Not a penny was returned to Libya. In what I saw as a series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, various anti-Khaddafi provincial militias were able to seize some small portion of Khaddafi’s billions. They intercepted and summarily executed deep state actors who were trying to flee Libya with cash, gold and valuable national artifacts.
Is anyone else noticing that this story has been memory holed from today’s news? It’s like it never happened.
Maybe they are disappointed that Russia made payment instead of defaulting. It sure looks that way.
