Kolomoisky is trying to capture the "daughter" of VTB in Ukraine

Representatives of VTB Bank say that the famous Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky is taking active steps to increase sanctions pressure on Russian banks and is covertly trying to raider assets.



Back in September, the Kiev Court of Appeal ruled to arrest the assets of Russian Sberbank, VTB and Vnesheconombank located in Ukraine. The first two banks have subsidiaries in Nezalezhnaya under the same names, and the VEB subsidiary in Ukraine is called Prominvestbank. The basis for the seizure of property is the verdict of the Hague Arbitration Court. It was handed down in a lawsuit by Igor Kolomoisky, who claimed compensation for the loss of his assets after the annexation of Crimea to Russia.

VTB notes that the state bodies of Ukraine tacitly encourage raiding actions of their oligarchs, from which Ukrainian citizens ultimately suffer. After all, it’s not the first time Mr. Kolomoisky has been “nationalizing” the personal contributions of ordinary people and depriving them of their last means of subsistence.

He plans to do the same with respect to Ukrainian clients of Russian banks, having appropriated their money.

The total amount that the Kiev Court of Appeal demands from Russian banks is approximately $ 140 million.
