Ok, this is not funny now.

I've just learned that we bought Ukraine for 15 billion USD. Do not get me wrong, I'm not like American patriots who're getting boner everytime their government wastes some USD: "Our moneyzzz!" -- no. I know that NWF is not my money, not even tiny but of it, not even tehcnically :D But why give money to someone who under no circumstances would pay you back? Ukrainian bonds are worthless (well, probably not now, when we've bought a bunch of them), it's still a default scenario and we're going to pay for that. And "moskali" are going to be blamed for everything, including Ukrainian default (though it's Ukraine, we're going to be blamed anyway, but at least that'd have been for free!).

Not sure what Vova has been thinking lately, I doubt he has done that for declared reasons, so I'm assuming he's going to redeem those money some other way (probably politically) after the default.

//Now I'm starting to think that guys from that Templton fund knew smth, when they've bought Ukrainian bonds earlier last year. I wonder who are these people?

It's funny, Russia even didn't needed money for this, we sold some USA debt papers and bought Ukraine debt papers. In any case none of this obligations will be paid any time soon.
