It includes sanctions such as a ban on transactions with 22 Russian financial institutions, including large banks, medium-sized banks, and specialized banks; a ban on transactions with financial institutions, crypto asset service providers, and individuals who help circumvent restrictions on Russian oil (in particular, two large regional Chinese banks were included in the sanctions list under the first criterion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also noted that the EU has strengthened the ban on transactions with institutions that use\/are connected to SPFS (the Russian equivalent of SWIFT) and introduced a new ban on transactions with the Russian Direct Investment Fund, the country&#8217;s largest sovereign investment fund, as well as its sub-funds and companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Governor of the National Bank, such a comprehensive approach significantly strengthens the isolation of the Russian banking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile Russian banks disconnected from the SWIFT system have so far been able to use alternative methods for exchanging financial messages, the updated sanctions effectively make international transactions impossible for certain Russian banks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new sanctions also restricted the development of the IT infrastructure of the Russian financial sector, which should lead to a decrease in the cyber security of financial institutions in the neighboring country and encourage the sector to accelerate the search for Russian IT solutions, which are often inferior to foreign counterparts or do not exist at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ban on transactions with the Russian Direct Investment Fund is also a strong signal to private and public investors around the world to avoid any interaction with funds associated with Russia,\u201d Pyshnyy added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that the decision, as well as the parallel strengthening of the sanctions program against the Republic of Belarus, is very significant and eloquent, and promised that the NBU would continue to work hard with its partners to expand sanctions against the aggressor state and its allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by Ukrinform,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.ua\/rubric-world\/4016284-es-zatverdiv-18j-paket-sankcij-proti-rosii.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the European Union has approved the 18th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation<\/a>, \u201cone of the toughest\u201d to date. In particular, the EU is lowering the \u201cprice cap\u201d on Russian crude oil from $60 to $47.6 per barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/luxembourg-transfers-eur-10m-to-ukraine-energy-support-fund\/\">Luxembourg transfers EUR 10M to Ukraine Energy Support Fund<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andriy Pyshnyy, the Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, called the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1188404,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1188403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Comprehensive isolation of Russia&#039;s financial sector is gaining momentum, - the Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/comprehensive-isolation-of-russia-s-financial-sector-is-gaining-momentum-the-governor-of-the-national-bank-of-ukraine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Comprehensive isolation of Russia&#039;s financial sector is gaining momentum, - the Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Andriy Pyshnyy, the Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine, called the ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/comprehensive-isolation-of-russia-s-financial-sector-is-gaining-momentum-the-governor-of-the-national-bank-of-ukraine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-07-23T10:02:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/6270.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/comprehensive-isolation-of-russia-s-financial-sector-is-gaining-momentum-the-governor-of-the-national-bank-of-ukraine\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/comprehensive-isolation-of-russia-s-financial-sector-is-gaining-momentum-the-governor-of-the-national-bank-of-ukraine\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"Comprehensive isolation of Russia&#8217;s financial sector is gaining momentum, &#8211;
