The District Court of Amsterdam refused to remove the security arrest from the accounts of Volga-Dnepr (VDL), the former Dutch arm of the Russian cargo company Volga-Dnepr. The arrest was achieved by the Ukrainian company, Avtodorkot, demanding about 610 million euros in compensation through a court in Ukraine. In the arrest were funds in ING: VDL accounts were € 151,000 and #036;76.05 million. This money has already been frozen since 2024 due to US sanctions against indirect shareholders of the company. Avtodorkomplekt claims it lost a mining complex near Maritol after the area came under Russian control. In June 2026, a Ukrainian court ordered 34 Russian and European companies, including Volga-Dnepr and Gazprom, to pay the plaintiff - 610 million euros. The defendants, according to the plaintiff, financed and ensured the conduct of the SVO. VDL insisted that the arrest was disproportionately involved in the controversy over the actions of Russia, which enjoys state immunity. The court rejected these claims: the funds have already been frozen by sanctions, and Russia is not an official party to the proceedings. The decision will be published by VDL. The company's representative considers this to be legally illogical and points out that the court mistakenly attributed VDL to the Russian Volga-Danfur group. Lawyers also point to the controversial issue of state immunity: the practice of Dutch courts in such cases is still unclear.
