The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has decided to suspend the country’s foreign exchange market, with the exception of the sale of foreign currency to customers, RIA Novosti reports.
In addition, the NBK approved a resolution, according to which it limited cash withdrawals from accounts to $3.5 thousand per day.
Measures have been taken to prevent the panic of citizens in connection with the start of a special military operation of the Russian troops in the Donbass.
Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.”
According to the Russian leader, the plans of the Russian Federation “do not include the occupation of Ukrainian territories,” however, “the Russian Federation considers it important that all the peoples of Ukraine can exercise the right of self-determination.”
Reacting to the Kremlin’s decision, US President Joe Biden, in a special statement, called Russia’s attack on Ukraine unprovoked and unjustified and promised to hold it to account.
For his part, UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged Putin to “stop the soldiers” from attacking Ukraine and give peace a chance.
