According to the document, Russia will fulfill its obligations in rubles if requested by a beneficiary. However, even in the absence of such a request, Russia may pay a beneficiary in rubles if it is impossible for it to fulfill its obligations in foreign currency. The money is then transferred to an account opened at the request of the Russian Finance Ministry with an organization that acts as the Russian government's agent in matters of providing state guarantees. Currently, this is Russian state corporation VEB.RF.
