There are no objective reasons for the default in Russia. About this, as Russian media writes, said the official representative of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov during a conference collage.
“Our position is well known. There can be no objective reasons for the default. There is money, there is a willingness to pay it, whether in rubles or according to a scheme that is more convenient for papers,” said Peskov, answering the question, Whether the payment scheme of the public debt, which was previously spoke of the Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov, will work, or Russia will have to announce the default.
“In general, the practice of gas payment showed its convenience for both sellers and buyers. Why not use it?” – noted Peskov.
