Ukrainian law enforcers monitor the operations of companies that are located in Ukraine, but are covered by Russia and Belarus.
The National Police and the NBU pay special attention to the security of commercial banks in Ukraine on the possibility of blocking money transfers to Russia and Belarus in the amount of $6.74 billion. About it told Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevgeny Enin on the air of the telethon on Saturday, April 16.
According to him, law enforcement officers are monitoring the operations of his companies belonging to the Russian Federation and Belarus and paying the aggressor countries the funds that were used to wage war against Ukraine.
To date, the National Police has initiated additional financial control over about seven thousand known Russian or Belarusian registrations or Russian or Belarusian owners.
In this regard, law enforcement officers, together with the National Bank, developed recommendations for banks on the analysis of technical transactions and contracts that provide for the allocation of foreign exchange funds to the main countries.
“If commercial banks heed the recommendations, we can say that up to UAH 200 billion will not be allowed for payment in a number of the Russian Federation with special tax payments and the use of funds to investigate hostilities,” Enin concluded.
The Verkhovna Rada is reportedly expected to consider additional taxation of companies that continue to regulate with Russia.
