Barclays Bank LLC, a Russian arm of the Barclays Group PLC (BARC.LN) said Tuesday it has offered departing OAO Bank VTB (VTB.RS) Chief Financial Officer Nikolai Tsekhomsky the role of CEO.

He will replace Sergey Radchenkov who is stepping down from the role. VTB, Russia's second-largest lender, confirmed earlier Tuesday that Tsekhomsky is to step down as CFO.

Barclays acquired leading Russian bank Expobank in 2008.
