The new package of European sanctions involves the disconnection of three Belarusian banks from the SWIFT interbank system. About it writes Reuters, citing sources.
According to media reports, the draft sanctions will be discussed on March 8 by the ambassadors of the EU countries. One of the measures is a ban on three Belarusian banks from participating in the SWIFT banking system. About which banks we are talking about, there is no information yet.
It is also noted that several more oligarchs and Russian deputies will fall under the sanctions. In addition, the sanctions will prohibit the export of naval equipment and software from the EU to Russia. The document also talks about recommendations for monitoring cryptocurrencies.
Earlier, VTB, Rossiya Bank, Otkritie, Novikombank, Promsvyazbank, Sovcombank and VEB were disconnected from the SWIFT international interbank system.
Recall that on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation in Ukraine. In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries announced new sanctions against the Russian Federation. In Ukraine, they said that the troops entered the country from the territory of Belarus. However, Minsk denies the participation of the Belarusian military in the special operation in Donbas, as well as the mobilization in the country.
