The filing follows months of payment problems. Interfax reported that Evrotrans had repeatedly entered technical default on coupon payments since July, citing a temporary shortage of available cash caused by uneven revenue receipts. Vedomosti reported that in September the company defaulted on coupon payments across all its exchange-traded bond issues. It said 10 issues totalling 27.1 billion rubles were outstanding. [ 2 , 4 ]
Vedomosti said Evrotrans's revenue fell 29% to 76.6 billion rubles in the first half of 2026 under international financial reporting standards. Its net loss was 5.7 billion rubles and net debt rose to 77.1 billion rubles. Interfax reported that the company also had overdue digital financial asset principal of 3.3 billion rubles, according to its report dated August 31. [ 2 , 4 ]
The company also faces legal proceedings. Vedomosti reported that its main shareholder and board chairman, Igor Martyshov (Игорь Мартышов), and three senior managers were detained in September on suspicion of stealing fuel belonging to the Moscow Region police administration. On September 30, Moscow's Savyolovsky District Court froze 70 million ordinary shares in Evrotrans belonging to Martyshov, the outlet reported. Vedomosti said his shares accounted for 44% of the company's authorised capital. [ 4 ]
