From outside and under the communist lies, Russia may seem to be in good shape.

Russia may soon go into a financial default even with all those glorious propaganda. 

Anyway, the invasion of Ukraine will leave tremendous ill effects on Russia and Putin

all along in the foreseeable future.

Putin has become a pariah all by himself on the international political stage.

I wish the devil-like Putin goes down the drain into the hell, ASAP.

Meanwhile, Mr. Weafer, who is based in Moscow, said that life was more or less operating as normal despite sanctions and Western companies withdrawing from Russia. 

"If you're in Moscow right now frankly, if you weren't reading the newspapers, you'd see there's been a price increase but otherwise life is as it was before February 24.

"In March and April there was a lot of concern that products would disappear, that factories would not be able to get components or materials to continue operating and we could be looking therefore at a severe drop in employment or a rise in unemployment by the summer [or] early autumn. That situation has improved," he added.

"We've seen alternative import routes opening via Kazakhstan and Turkey, the government has promoted what they call a parallel import scheme so effectively a lot of products that were blocked in March and April are now starting to reappear, albeit at a higher price."

러시아 돈줄 끝으려다 돌아온 최악의 후폭풍

Russian Finance Minister Siluanov was quoted by state-owned news agency Ria Novosti as saying last week that the sanctions meant Moscow had no “other method left to get funds to investors, except to make payments in Russian rubles.”

The Russian finance ministry said in a Telegram post on May 27 that the Russian National Settlement Depository had made the required payments of $71 million and €26.5 million.

“Allegations of default are incorrect because the necessary currency payment was made as early as back in May,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a regular call with reporters on Monday.

The fact that money transferred to Euroclear was not delivered to investors was “not our problem,” he said.

“So there are no grounds to call it a default,” he said.

Euroclear can’t settle any securities with counterparties that are subject to sanctions.

*I do not know if it will work. The guy who borrowed money paid interests to 

the bank, but the guy who lended money told the bank, "you can't give me that 

money", then told the debtee " you did not pay me".
