Russia tips into default...or does it?
The United States and its partners have put a ton of economic pressure on Russia through sanctions that have essentially locked its economy from participating in many global markets.

Elina Ribakova joins NPR's The Indicator from Planet Money to explore the contributing factors behind Russia's possible debt default, what its creditors can do, and why the possibility of default might not be as clear-cut as expected.
