Almost a year later, Sberbank managed to get rid of its Ukrainian branch, which brought him so many problems. The new owner of the credit and financial organization was VS Bank, which is managed by a former friend of the unlawfully deposed President Viktor Yanukovych who fled to Russia,. Information about this is contained in the press release of the company. The document says that the Antimonopoly Committee and the National Bank of Ukraine, as well as the European Central Bank, approved all conditions. It is noted that this decision is connected primarily with the "anti-Russian government". It is for this reason that Sberbank turns all its assets into the banking market of Nezalezhnaya.

At the same time, this state of affairs will not affect the financial stability of the Russian company. Rumors that the new owner of "VEs Bank" will be Ukrainian businessman Sergei Tigipko, who heads the Cyprus company Bailican Limited. which includes VS Bank appeared in the press in September 2017. It is interesting that previously Tihipko held high positions in the government of Ukraine: during the presidency of Leonid Kuchma and Viktor Yanukovich, he was vice-premier, and also headed the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Social Policy.
