Russia could be entering its first major foreign debt default for over a century, after a grace period on two international bonds lapsed on Sunday night.

Siluanov reportedly told Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti that the blockage of payments does not constitute a genuine default, which usually come as the result of unwillingness or inability to pay, and called the situation a"farce."

"Indeed, Russia likely already defaulted on some ruble denominated instruments owed to foreigners in the weeks just after the invasion, albeit having pulled their ratings, the ratings agencies were not able to call this a default," Ash said in a note Monday. He argued that Russia's alternative sources of foreign financing beyond the West, such as Chinese banks, would also be reluctant to look beyond the default headlines.

Russia has thus far managed to implement successful capital controls that have supported the ruble currency, and continued to bring in substantial revenues from energy exports as a result of soaring oil and gas prices.

Russia hits Ukraine with air strike from Belarus for first time: KyivUkrainian officials said Saturday that Russia fired missiles from Belarus to drag the country 'into the war in Ukraine as a direct participant.' Why can’t the so-called world leaders get a peace accord? Whose interest it is to continue another senseless war? A bit surprised normally wily Lukashenka is drawn in like this. Perhaps Putin promised to keep him in lifetime power in a post-war Belarusian-Russian union = Belarus as vassal state is complete.
