‼️Russia: “VTB withheld part of its 2025 dividends to secure debt collection from Bank of New York Mellon.” 👉 “in the amount of 272 million rubles” www.interfax.ru/business/110...
ECONOMY 9:05 pm, august 4, 2026
VTB withheld part of its 2025 dividends to secure debt collection from Bank of New York Mellon.

Moscow. August 4. INTERFAX.RU - VTB withheld a portion of its 2025 dividend payment in the amount of 272 million rubles as part of interim measures in its successful lawsuit against Bank of New York Mellon, according to the bank's documents.

On Tuesday, the bank announced that it had transferred dividends for 2025 totaling 31.8 billion rubles to private investors, stating that the obligation had been fulfilled by 99.15%. VTB cited compliance with a court order as the reason for the incomplete dividend payment.

As the bank's press service explained to Interfax, VTB complied with the decision of the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region dated July 8, 2026, to adopt interim measures in the case concerning VTB's claim against Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

In November 2025, the court upheld VTB's claim against the American bank for $14.6 million in damages. Following the imposition of sanctions against the Russian bank in 2022, Bank of New York Mellon transferred these funds to a special OFAC Suspense Account. In early 2024, VTB demanded the return of the funds from Bank of New York Mellon but received no response. In court, the defendant insisted that VTB should apply directly to OFAC for the funds to be unfrozen. The court upheld the Russian bank's claim and awarded Bank of New York Mellon $14.3 million in frozen funds and $300,000 in lost profits.

According to court documents, in early July, VTB filed a motion for injunctive relief in this dispute. On July 8, the court granted the bank's motion and prohibited the payment of dividends for 2025, totaling 272.5 million rubles on 28 million common shares, to the accounts of nominee shareholders of NSD, Raiffeisenbank, and Citibank, owed to Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

ECONOMY 3:30 pm, august 4, 2026

Fuel is not taken on board

The number of bulk carriers available for coal exports from Russia has decreased.

The availability of vessels for coal exports significantly decreased by the end of July. In the Black Sea, due to increased shipping risks, the number of available bulk carriers—ships carrying bulk cargo—fell by 21% in a month. In the Far East, given growing demand in South Korea, the reduced availability of tonnage led to a 5-10% increase in freight rates. Logistics constraints may increase the price of Russian coal on global markets, but this will not offset the increased transportation costs.
