Sanktionerna som enligt Ryssland endast stärker dem verkar ha haft effekt. Ryssland har för första gången sedan 1998 misslyckats att betala räntorna på sina lån. Är det början på slutet vi ser nu? I väst förutspådde man att Rysslands ekonomi inte skulle klara av ett långvarigt krig och att kassan skulle tömmas under sommaren.
Hur länge kommer Kreml att lyckas hålla uppe fasaden om att allt går som planerat? Hur länge kommer dom att hålla ut innan dom tvingas till förhandlingsbordet för att ge efter för Ukrainas krav på en reträtt?

Citat:
Russia is believed to have defaulted on its debt for the first time since 1998 after missing a key deadline.
Russia has the money to make a $100m payment, which was due on Sunday, but sanctions made it impossible to get the sum to international creditors.
The Kremlin had been determined to avoid the default, which is a major blow to the nation's prestige.

The $100m interest payment was due on 27 May. Russia says the money was sent to Euroclear, a bank which would then distribute the payment to investors.
But that payment has been stuck there, according to Bloomberg News, and creditors have not received it.
Meanwhile, some Taiwanese holders of Russian bonds denominated in euros have not received interest payments, according to the Reuters news agency, which cited two sources.
The money had not arrived within 30 days of the due date, that is, Sunday evening, and so is considered a default.
