Raiffeisen Bank International, the largest Western bank still operating in Russia, is under fire again after Grizzly Research accused it of facilitating over a billion dollars in sanctioned Russian trade — including weapons-related materials. The bank fiercely denies the claims, defending its compliance and citing multiple audits, while navigating the high-stakes reality that its Russian operations remain vital for Europe’s energy payments. Despite years of failed exit attempts and U.S. warnings that could cut off dollar access, RBI hasn’t left — partly because Moscow blocks profit repatriation, and partly because European buyers still rely on Russian oil and gas. With Grizzly Research betting against RBI’s stock (which dropped sharply after the report), the bank finds itself caught between geopolitical pressure, financial risk, and political maneuvering in a deeply entangled global economy.
