DY Chandrachud Appointed Russia's Arbitrator in Ukraine's Oschadbank Investment Dispute
Former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has been appointed by Russia as its arbitrator in a high-value investment treaty dispute with Ukrainian state-owned Oschadbank. The arbitration, under the 1998 bilateral investment treaty between Russia and Ukraine, concerns Oschadbank's claim of lost assets and operations in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia following Russia's 2022 military invasion. The three-member tribunal is presided over by Costa Rican arbitrator Dyalá Jiménez, with Greek arbitrator Stavros Brekoulakis representing Oschadbank. Oschadbank initiated the arbitration after Russia did not respond to a July 2025 dispute notice.
