although it seems unlikely they wouldn't have been aware of that situation. There are other debt payments repayments due elsewhere before the autumn too.

Nothing theoretical about it - immediate trans of funds. You will find elsewhere that no Greek loans made subject to English law have been either written down or are in default. Not only must Russia have had some expert advice on the subject its likely that others did too from prior experience in Greece..

Timeline I used was just a convenient summary of events .

What has completely mystified me over the past day or so was reference out of the blue to a $100 discount per unit volume, usually / 1000 cu. meters , as being part of the lease deal on the Crimea naval base. That's aside from the $1 billion a year lease payment which presumably , until renegotiated , will go direct to Crimea : not Kiev. That wasn't a discount which cost Gazrom anything - it was internal accounting by Russia by way of a tax offset to Gazprom and that will now end.
