Rosfinmonitoring is therefore supporting materially and benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
Rosfinmonitoring has consistently placed persons and entities considered critical of the Kremlin on its “terrorism and extremism” register, including journalists and Westernowned social media platforms.
Since the start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine in February 2022, Rosfinmonitoring has cooperated with the Russian Ministry of Defence on a project for banking and treasury support to fulfil Russia’s so-called new “State defence order”, which was imposed after the beginning of the war with the goal of militarising the Russian economy.
Rosfinmonitoring is a Russian federal executive body created by a decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 2001, responsible for countering money laundering and terrorism financing. All activities undertaken by Rosfinmonitoring fall under the direct supervision of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
