MOSCOW, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Russia’s second-biggest lender, VTB, posted a net profit last year of more than 100 billion roubles ($1.74 billion), Chief Executive Andrey Kostin told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.

Kostin, at what the Kremlin billed as a regular meeting with Putin, also said VTB was in talks with potential foreign investors, including some from China, about a project to build logistical hubs for online retail, according to a transcript of the meeting posted on the Kremlin internet site.
