Consider the IMF loan , which is a 17 billion Two Year " Stand - By Arrangement " but only 3.2 billion made available Wednesday 5/7 - If Gazprom is owed 3.5 billion as of the end of April in arrears , where does the 5 billion come from to pay IMF loans coming due - part of 9 billion in foreign currency debt coming due this year ? ) Having lost Crimea and its tax revenue as well as prior Russian port payments , how does the IMF loan get serviced ? Well , for that you have to wait until the May 25th Presidential Election , when the West's selected Oligarch candidate gets voted in .... then we'll see the tax increase , pension cuts , privatization moves and job cuts to allow the IMF and Creditor loans to always be paid first !

Putin can say he tried , everyone ignored his advice , what else can I do ? Now more sanction may come from the US after the votes ( if the votes are for autonomy in the Donetsk and Lugansk Regions ) and if Russia supports the will of the people for autonomy , but will the EU go along with major sanctions after Putin did what the West has been requesting ? They still need Russian natural gas and Russia is still a major trad partner ......Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619882970573749720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949151804634268229.post-67006363707874977242014-05-08T06:00:19.129-04:002014-05-08T06:00:19.129-04:00Even more interesting that Donetsk has said it'...Even more interesting that Donetsk has said it's going ahead with the vote as planned ! <br /><br />Enjoy your thursday !
