Russia want to pay his debt

[Fullbear2222]

The Biden administration initially allowed Russia to continue to repurpose the substantial funds it has kept in U.S. financial institutions to make required payments on its sovereign debt. But on April 4, the Treasury Department banned Russia from withdrawing funds held in US banks to pay off its debt obligations.
So but usa just took the money and russia now struggle to pay

What's the point though?.

Also I think Russia have bigger issues than needing to clear US debt (it's likely not their priority).

paying a debt means putting out money when russia is more concerned with getting money IN they’re considering all kinds of new resources to get more money in not get them out

It is not like the United States just woke up one morning and decided to take the money, their money was genuinely frozen due to the constant sanctions on their economy, even as it was frozen it doesn't means the money belongs to the US but Russia can not access it as well. Although  at first Russia was given some leniency, they could access some part of the money to service some of their debts but as the tension grew stronger with the EUs then that right was eventually removed. So as it stands now the money is just sitting idle.
