The financial monitoring agency of Ukraine has restricted access to a number of online crypto exchangers operating out of Russia.
In the document published this week, the watchdog announced its employees have joined forces with colleagues from the Ministry of Digital Transformation and leading Ukrainian crypto experts.
Also, working closely with crypto service providers in Ukraine and abroad, the SFMS introduced a mechanism for the “blocking of crypto wallets of the Russian Federation.” It’s unclear whether it means Russian wallets in general or those linked to the government in Moscow. The state service reminded that last year it turned to Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, suggesting actions “to curb the aggression of the Russian Federation in the virtual assets market” and prevent peer-to-peer transactions for users of various Russian banks and payment systems.
“Other practical measures related to the blocking of Russian crypto assets and operations of Russian residents have been implemented,” the agency added without elaborating. It has been cooperating with the financial authorities of almost 140 countries on the matter while severing ties with regulators in Russia and Belarus.
