| Reason | Bank “Rossiya” is a Russian bank privately owned by elite Russian billionaires with direct links to Putin. Bank “Rossiya” also has important stakes in the National Media Group, which controls television stations which actively support the Russian Government's policies of destabilisation in Ukraine. Since the annexation of Crimea, Bank “Rossiya” has opened branches across Crimea and Sevastopol, and provided travel cards for the public to travel across the peninsula thereby supporting the integration of Crimea and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation through the financial system. Bank “Rossiya” has also contributed to the provision of insurance and investment throughout Crimea and Sevastopol and services to support military capability and major transport links. Bank “Rossiya” therefore is or has been involved in providing financial services, or making available funds, economic resources, goods or technology and engaging in, providing support for, or promoting any policy or action that could contribute to destabilising Ukraine or undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine. | [sources] | |||
