From WSJopinion: Putin may fear default more than defeat, writes judyshel. Russia’s 1998 financial collapse looms large in his thinking and may explain why the country is still paying interest on its debt.

Review & Outlook: Joe Biden and NATO are still too cautious in opposing Russia's war with Ukraine. Images: AP/Kirillovka.Ukr via Storyful Composite: Mark KellyRussia last week surprised many observers by fulfilling its obligation to pay interest on dollar-denominated sovereign bonds. The coupon payments, amounting to $117 million, were required to service two Russian government bond offerings—one maturing in 2023 and another in 2043.

While the U.S. has barred most transactions by American institutions with Russia’s central bank and Finance Ministry, a temporary exemption from the Treasury Department permits Russia to make these debt payments through May 25.
