Putin to Meet Austria’s Nehammer, in First Face-to-Face Meeting With a European Leader

RUSSIA
  • The Austrian chancellor is due to be meeting with Putin in Moscow today, and will become the first Western leader to hold in-person talks since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis. Nehammer is thought to have discussed his trip with other EU leaders as well as Ukraine’s Zelensky, who he met in Kyiv on Saturday.
  • Russian press Izvestia reports that Russia are to halt all bond auctions for the rest of the calendar year as borrowing costs are now deemed ‘prohibitive’. Finance minister Siluanov was quoted as saying that Russia don’t plan to sell bonds either locally or in foreign markets this year, as the borrowing costs would be ‘cosmic’. The finance ministry’s previous plans showed RUB 700bln in issuance across the first quarter, of which Russia only sold RUB 128bln.
  • S&P have revised Russia’s foreign currency rating to ‘selective default’, joining the other major ratings agencies in taking a similar view. The news comes ahead of what is likely an inevitable default for Russia, after a payment of $650mln was rejected by foreign banks, forcing Russia to offer RUB instead.
  • In Ukraine, local reports the Dnipro airport situated on the Dnipro river, West of Donetsk and Luhansk, has been destroyed by Russian missile strikes – the latest evidence that’s prompted Zelensky to expect a wider offensive line following the withdrawal from the territory surrounding Kyiv.
  • In a statement released late yesterday, POTUS outlined his intention to press India further into taking a more hardline stance on Russia, after Modi declined to criticize Russian aggression in Ukraine. US and Indian foreign and defence officials are to meet in Washington this week.
  • Data due Monday includes current account and trade balance releases, alongside official reserve assets. Numbers cross at 1400BST/0900ET.
