With the onset of large-scale Russian aggression and a new phase of sanctions of the world’s civilizednations, which have engulfed the Kremlin’s key financial institutions, Russian propaganda has intensified promises of criminal Russian banks’ “entrance” to the occupied territories of Ukraine.
In particular, the illegal “opening in Crimea” of five more branches of the sanctioned Russian state bank “Promsvyazbank” is currently being announced. At the same time, the occupiers do not hide that this institution will be criminally involved on the peninsula primarily “in salary projects”.
Thus, the aggressor plans to illegally use “Promsvyazbank” in the niche of servicing its own fake “enterprises” and “institutions”, which are primarily on “budget financing” and are providing criminal“ administration” and militarization of the peninsula by the Russian occupiers.
Another, “Crimean” bank of the aggressor, namely “RNKB”, which until 2022 was illegally defined by the Kremlin on the occupied peninsula as “system-forming”, was criminally promised by occupiers in April 2022 to be include in the system of large and sanctioned Russian bank “VTB”, and so it was declared criminally to establish allegedly “a powerful Russian financial institution in the Crimea”.
At the same time, fake “officials” of the aggressor’s Crimean “administration” admit that “VTB” will not operate directly on the occupied peninsula, and that “RNKB” itself will continue to criminally serve as the main financial “laying” of the aggressor in the Crimea.
It was on the “RNKB” that the aggressor set an “ambitious task” to criminally “attract 800 billion” investments to the Crimea. But realizing that voluntary private structures will not provide money for these criminal “Crimean projects”, the Kremlin will force the leadership of the Russian regions to provide “investment funds” for the “Crimean needs” of “RNKB” through the use of appropriate administrative resources.
As for the territories of mainland Ukraine, occupied by the aggressor, financial support for the Russian aggression is planned criminally through the fake “International Settlement Bank”, the consequences of whose “registration” in the Russian-occupied Georgian Tskhinvali were already described by our Association.
This shows that the occupied territories of Ukraine do not constitute any “financial attractiveness” for “Russian business”, and therefore all funds to ensure their financial occupation are criminally allocated by the Kremlin “manually”, i.e. forcibly.
