MOSCOW, Dec. 9 – The International Monetary Fund executive board decision to change the organization's policy regarding countries that have debt to official creditors was made exclusively to the detriment of Russia and forces Russia to prepare documents for a court filing on the Ukrainian debt, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

"The decision to change the rules looks hasty and biased. It is being made exclusively to the detriment of Russia and with the aim of legalizing the possibility for Kiev to not pay its debts," Siluanov told reporters.
