“The Russian Ministry of Finance informs that it is ready to consider and, if there are necessary grounds, settle bilaterally all claims regarding the completeness of the fulfillment of debt obligations under Russia-2022 Eurobonds,” the agency’s website says.
It is noted that the funds were brought to investors after the agreed date due to "unfair performance by foreign counterparties of the Ministry of Finance of Russia of their functions when redeeming these bonds."
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said earlier that Russia had decided to make settlements with holders of Russian Eurobonds using a mechanism similar to the scheme for paying for Russian gas in rubles.
On May 20, it became known that the Russian Ministry of Finance paid the coupon on sovereign Eurobonds maturing in 2026 and 2036 in dollars and euros in full.
