Russia is on the brink of default after making payments in rubles

GGood Morning.

VTB, Russia’s second largest bank, is likely to become the latest victim of Western sanctions.

Her UK branch is due to appear in a London court today, where she will ask the judge to order so-called special administration, Bloomberg reports.

It comes after a court ordered the shutdown of the UK unit of Russia’s largest lender Sberbank, while Sova Capital, a London-based broker controlled by Russian banker Roman Avdeev, entered special administration last month.

Special administration is a form of bankruptcy that protects the broader market from collapse. Gazprom’s British business narrowly avoided that fate after Germany seized control of the gas giant’s subsidiary.
