A message was published on the ministry's website confirming Russia's readiness to pay off foreign debts.
At the same time, payments will be made in the official currency of Russia - rubles.
“Now there is money, and there is also a willingness to pay,” said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.
On May 20, the Russian Ministry of Finance paid in full the coupon on sovereign Eurobonds maturing in 2026 and 2036 in dollars and euros.
Later, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury decided not to renew the general license allowing Russia to make foreign debt service payments.
