The NBU has prepared a list of possible sanctions against the Ukrainian “daughters” Russian banks
The national Bank of Ukraine has prepared a number of possible sanctions against the Ukrainian “daughters” Russian banks and the parent institutions. The restriction may be imposed by the Council, as soon as those financial institutions begin to serve customers with “passports of DNR and LNR”.
In particular, it is proposed to prohibit the Ukrainian “daughters” to withdraw money from Ukraine for the repayment of loans in Russian state banks. This writes UNIAN.
The press service of NBU said that such possible restrictions aimed at protecting national interests, national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and will protect the interests of the Ukrainian clients, the customers and depositors of these banks in Ukraine will be served as usual.

Previously, a decree on Russia’s recognition of these “documents” that give fighters, was signed by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
