The Guardian | Revealed: UK oil refinery owner moved Russian loans to offshore subsidiary where sanctions did not apply by Rob Davies, Atika Rehman, Jess Staufenberg and Marcus Leroux
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Essar Energy, the Indian‑owned parent of the Stanlow refinery in Cheshire, shifted billions of pounds of Russian‑sourced loans from a Cyprus‑based entity to a subsidiary in the tax‑haven of Mauritius after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, a move that allowed the loans from Kremlin‑controlled VTB to remain outside the reach of Western sanctions. Although Essar asserts that the transaction complied with UK, EU and other sanctions law on the advice of a leading law firm, sanctions experts and forensic accountants say the restructuring raises “red‑flag” concerns of possible sanctions circumvention, pointing to new rouble exposure and an apparent “enhancement” of the VTB debt. The transfer was approved by Cypriot authorities, but both Cyprus and Mauritius are now examining whether Essar violated EU sanctions regulations, and MPs—including the chair of the Business Select Committee—are urging UK officials to launch an investigation into the company’s continued financial ties with VTB, which they describe as “Putin’s piggy bank.”

... the ministry began selling gold and foreign #currency at a rate of 12.8 billion rubles per day from January 16 to February 5, 2026. The #MoscowTimes reports this to be the fastest pace of asset sales since the start of such interventions. Analysts at #VTB Bank estimate that if current market conditions persist, #Russia may spend up to 2.5 trillion rubles from the #NWF in 2026—amounting to approximately 60% of its remaining liquid #reserves.

Every 1% cut in CB interest rates gives Russia's #VTB Bank an extra $250 million in net profit, CFO Dmitry Pyanov told Reuters, which benefits the government as the state-owned lender plans to distribute 50% of its profits via dividends - half of it to the state.

Миграция Big Data на практике: как мы готовили напильники
Всем привет, меня зовут Алексей Марьин, я IT-лидер стрима «Озеро данных» в ВТБ. До 2019 года мы активно и вполне успешно использовали для анализа и обработки больших данных продукт Oracle Big Data Appliance с Cloudera Hadoop Distribution внутри. И всё было хорошо, пока Oracle не решил прекратить развивать это направление бизнеса. Тогда пришлось задуматься об альтернативе, и мы обратились к Arenadata Hadoop. По пути мы столкнулись с некоторыми, так скажем, особенностями: пришлось кое-что допиливать напильником. Сейчас многие сталкиваются с похожими проблемами импортозамещения продуктов. Так что мы с коллегой, директором проектов службы развития больших данных Дмитрием Власовым, решили написать эту статью, чтобы подсказать решения и предупредить о трудностях.
