State-owned energy giants Gazprom neft and Rosneft have recently repaid international bonds, and about $200 billion of government reserves have not been approved, leaving a glimmer of hope for avoiding default, although the possibility seems low.

The total par value of the two kinds of bonds denominated in US dollars is $65,438+0.10.70 billion. But the Russian government has always hinted that it will not pay, or even if it does, it will pay in rubles. In the eyes of Wall Street people, the ruble is equivalent to default. If a default occurs, it will be the third international default of Russia since the outbreak of the October Revolution more than a century ago.

Russian Finance Minister Silvianov said that Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves, including international welfare funds, have been frozen, and there are problems in Russia's debt performance. Russia will not refuse to fulfill its obligation to repay its debts. Russia will repay its debts in rubles before lifting the freeze. Russia and the west often encounter contradictions on issues such as the situation in Ukraine and the Black Sea. Does NATO regard Ukraine as anti-Russian? Bridge head? Trying to deploy weapons in Ukraine and build a military base to contain Russia. The joint military activities of NATO and Ukraine in the Black Sea further aggravated the tension.

A large number of refugees gathered in the border areas between Belarus and Poland, Lithuania and other EU member States, which aggravated the political crisis between Belarus and the EU. Belarus and some western countries began to accuse Belarus of planning this crisis. The hegemonic behavior of western countries is the initiator of the crisis. In an interview with Russian media, Putin said that the military actions of western countries in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused a large number of refugees. EU leaders need to negotiate directly with Belarusian President Lukashenko to solve the crisis. ?
