They imposed 50-year restrictions on all banks, non-bank lending institutions, payment system operators, stock market participants, insurance companies, and investment funds registered or operating in Russia.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"983\">The National Bank of Ukraine has now proposed additional measures aimed at preventing Russia from using modern financial instruments to circumvent sanctions, including cryptocurrencies. As a result, the sanctions have been expanded to cover operators of digital financial asset platforms, cryptocurrency service providers, financial platforms, and clearing organizations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1173\">The updated restrictions prohibit transactions involving virtual assets, as well as the use of platforms, services, or products that facilitate transactions in financial or virtual assets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1553\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Several provisions of the decision are aligned with the approaches introduced under the 19th and 20th packages of European Union sanctions against Russia. However, Ukraine has adopted a broader approach by extending sanctions to all virtual assets backed by the Russian ruble, making it more difficult for Russia to use cryptocurrencies to evade international sanctions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":151931,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-151930","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/151930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=151930"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=151930"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=151930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
