(Reuters) - Russia will take legal action if the West tries to force Moscow to default on its sovereign debt, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told the daily Izvestia newspaper in an interview early on Monday.

"Of course we will sue, because we have taken all the necessary steps to ensure that investors receive their payments," Siluanov was quoted as saying in the pro-Kremlin newspaper.
