Siluanov called the US refusal to renew the license to pay the national debt an "exotic measure"

“This is a continuation of the unfriendly measures that Western countries are taking against Russia.

In this case, this is a very exotic, strange measure, I would say.

Since Western countries, first of all, do not allow their investors to receive money from investments in Russian securities.

Previously, there were no such precedents, ”TASS quotes him.

On May 24, the US Treasury received information about the refusal to renew the license for investors to receive payments on the state debt of the Russian Federation.

The Russian Ministry of Finance has already announced that this will not interfere with the payment of the country's debt obligations.

Political scientist Alexander Markin, in an interview with the FBA "Economy Today" commented on the situation with Russia's public debt.
