All of them “will represent the interests of the Russian Federation on the board of directors” of USC, the document says.

The government has decided to transfer USC, which is responsible for the construction of almost all warships and most of the civil ships in the Russian Federation, to VTB’s trust management for five years. According to Kommersant, the decision was caused by the disruption of the OSK recovery program, launched in 2020. RBC informedthat Andrey Puchkov will head the USC.
