The Ukrainian government no longer classifies Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) as an international supporter of the Russian war of aggression. The previous status is “suspended,” Ukraine’s National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NASK) said on its website today. Observers suspected a connection with the recent EU decisions to support Ukraine.

“The status is suspended for the period of bilateral consultations involving representatives of the European Commission,” the agency said. The article with the allegations once morest the RBI was no longer available. In a largely symbolic step, the RBI was added to the Ukrainian “list for international terrorist supporters” in the spring.

The reason given was the bank’s activities in Russia and the official recognition of the “people’s republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk by the Russian RBI subsidiary. In addition, reference was made to RBI’s lack of steps to divest itself of its Russian business.
