IS RUSSIA GOING BROKE? Kazakhstan Seizes Russia's Launch Facility at Baikonur Because Russia Can’t Pay Its Debts

Doubt Russia is going broke like america

Why are no Russian banks collapsing?

i think there's more to this story than the eye meets

30 million dollar of unpaid loans, are you fucking kidding me, that's peanuts, have you forgotten how the USA tryed a color revolution in that same country months ago which Russia squished within a day or so?!

this is probably just propaganda and the Kazak Government is doing this on the orders of America, but they know they can't push this forever

Bump

Bump

Guess they've completed the construction of their new cosmodrome:




Russia will continue to cooperate with Kazakhstan at Baikonur, but is also building its own modern cosmodrome in the Far East, as it is still a different country. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We have cooperated and will continue to cooperate with Kazakhstan. But it is still, with all our closeness to this country... a different state. And we are creating a modern Russian cosmodrome in the Far East,” the head of state said at a meeting with political parties that entered the State Duma.

He stressed that the cosmodrome would be precisely modern, since what was created in the Soviet Union no longer meets the requirements that apply to today's cosmonautics.

The second phase of the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region should be completed in December 2022. The first launch from the new launch complex for rockets of the Angara family is scheduled for the summer of 2023. Vostochny is the first civilian cosmodrome in Russia, its total area is about 700 square kilometers.

Why doesn’t Russia just make their payments then?

Problem solved.

it isnt broke its in much better shape than most western nations, owing 10-20% of gdp.

probably why they want to fuck it up...

That's right.
Vostochny is already working, there have already been launches from him.
This is a civilian spaceport. In addition to him, there is a military man.

On March 7th, 2023, Kazakhstan seized control of the Biaterek launch complex at the Baikonur Cosmodrome – Russia’s main launch site since 1955. According to statements by KZ24 News and The Moscow Times, the Kakazh government has impounded Russian assets at the Center for Utilization of Ground-based Space Infrastructure (TsENKI), a subsidiary of Roscosmos. It is also preventing Russian officials from leaving the country or liquidating Roscosmos assets. This incident is another example of how Russia’s space program is suffering collateral damage from the war in Ukraine.

The decision was made because the Russian State company failed to pay its debts to the Kazakh government, which are now over 13.5 billion tenges (2.258 billion rubles; $29.7 million). This debt is part of the “Baiterek” program, a Kazakh-Russian joint venture related to the development of the Soyuz-5 booster. This program was created in 2005 to speed the transition from launch vehicles that rely on highly-toxic unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) – aka. “heptyl” fuel (C2H8N2) – and adopting ecologically safe propellants and launch practices.

There...corrected it for ya ;)

Russia has lost a huge pile of market share in energy markets and they're selling oil and gas to China for below market value. It's unlikely they will ever recover.

Is that why Russia isn’t making their debt payments to Kazakhstan?

So you’re thinking that Putin will take the gloves off and threaten Kazakhstan with nukes unless they forgive Russia’s debt and delinquent payments?

in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in which Russia agreed that they would not threaten or attack three countries: Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. obviously Russia has broken this agreement and threatened or attacked all three countries.

USA and UK also signed the Budapest Memorandum, and agreed to help Ukraine and the other countries if they are attacked.

so that is the current situation, Russia broke the agreement and USA and UK are following the agreement.

That's right.

These Russian propaganda trolls are amusing. I just hope they don’t take classes and learn better English.

I guess this also puts a end to Russia’s copy of the US space shuttle which still hasn’t gotten off the ground.

Could be the end of Russia’s new Soyuz 5 rocket program.

Russia has already spent nearly $1 billion on the development of the new Soyuz-5 rocket and plans for its launch site and ground services. When Ars wrote about the rocket's development in 2017, it was slated to debut in 2021. Now it is unlikely to debut before at least 2024—and given the current dispute with Kazakhstan, it likely will be delayed much longer into the future.

Because if they arent going to the space station anymore why would they bother paying for something they dont need at the current time?


I think your drawing too many assumptions and this is just another propaganda thread by the globalist elite operative.

Those agreements are null and void the moment ukraine started killing ethnic russians who wanted to secede and threatening Russia.

Can we just get another link to corroborate this?
Transiberianrailroad.com looks kinda fakey…
