This is a reaction to the recently imposed sanctions, the employee of the bank working with the means of state defense order explains. Their main difference from the previous ones is the effect of "infection". Risks intensified after the adoption of the law on sanctions in the US in August. Now the punishment can be applied to any counterparties of the company from the sanctions list, which concluded a significant deal with it. Determine whether the transaction is significant, each time will be the State Department. In October, the US called almost all the leading enterprises of the Russian defense industry subject to the law, the state banker said.

In September, Bloomberg wrote that officials and state banks are looking for options to circumvent the risks in financing defense enterprises after the adoption of the law on sanctions in the United States. He was especially worried about Sberbank and VTB, the agency wrote, calling among the options for minimizing these risks the creation of a new state bank for lending to defense enterprises and switching to direct financing from the treasury. A number of bankers, including state banks, told Vedomosti about the fact that an option is being considered to create a state defense order bank. Kommersant in October wrote that the bank "Russian Financial Corporation" (controlled by Rostekh), Novikombank and Svyaz-Bank was considered as a specialized bank.
