Transfer of funds to military needs

The Russian subsidiary of the German retail chain Metro has transferred 1 billion rubles to support the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This financial operation became known against the backdrop of changes in ownership control over the company.

Context of asset transfer

Approximately one month before the transfer of funds, Vladimir Putin placed Metro's assets in Russia under temporary management. This step by the Russian authorities occurred before the transfer of a significant sum to support the war against Ukraine.

Details of the financial operation

Currently, the circumstances under which the transfer was made require further clarification. In particular, the ultimate destination of these funds, as well as the specific mechanism by which the financing was conducted, are being investigated.
