“Russia has all the necessary financial resources, no default threatens us,” TASS quoted Nabiullina as saying during a speech in the State Duma.

As Ursula von der Leyen said earlier, EU sanctions should lead to "Russia's national bankruptcy."

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted that the “default of Russia”, which von der Leyen is counting on, could turn into a default of Europe.

Viktoria Fedosova, deputy director of the RUDN Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts, member of the MGER political council, in an interview with RT noted that the goals of the “Russia's default campaign” are set not by Europe, which does not benefit from this, but by the United States.
