RBC Daily writes that while the meeting at the Central Bank regarding the Bank of Moscow situation was in progress, Sergey Aleksashenko, former First Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia, in his blog expressed strong criticism of VTB head Andrey Kostin and even suggested that he should be sacked. In addition, he noted that VTB should not have been rescued by the state during the crisis, but rather should have been made bankrupt as it does not have any systemic importance, and only its subsidiary – VTB 24 – does.РБК Daily
