Moscow is on the brink of defaulting on its debt for the first time since the Bolshevik coup more than a century ago as sanctions begin to take their toll on the Russian economy.

Credit ratings agency Standard & Poor downgraded Moscow from 'junk' to 'selective default' on Friday after Russia tried to make foreign bond payments in roubles on Monday when they were due in dollars.

Putin's government is unable to make dollar payments from accounts held at American banks after the US Treasury stepped in to halt them in the latest wave of sanctions imposed on Russia for invading Ukraine.

S&P said in a statement that its decision was based partly on its opinion that sanctions on Russia 'are likely to be further increased in the coming weeks, hampering Russia's willingness and technical abilities to honour the terms and conditions of its obligations to foreign debtholders'.  

The Kremlin has warned that while it is willing to pay its foreign debts, it would do so in roubles so long as its overseas accounts in foreign currencies remain frozen.

Russia still has a 30 day grace period in which to convert the rouble payment into dollars or find some other way to avoid officially going into default.
