Former CJI DY Chandrachud Appointed Russia's Arbitrator in Ukraine Bank Dispute
Former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has been appointed by Russia as its arbitrator in an investment treaty dispute filed by Ukrainian state-owned Oschadbank. The case concerns claims over assets and operations in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions lost following Russia's military actions after the 2022 invasion. The arbitration is conducted under the 1998 bilateral investment treaty between Russia and Ukraine, with a three-member tribunal led by Costa Rican arbitrator Dyalá Jiménez and including Greek arbitrator Stavros Brekoulakis appointed by Oschadbank. The claim is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, initiated after Russia allegedly did not respond to a notice of dispute served in July 2025.
