The NBU has also expanded the list of restrictions on Russia and Belarus by banning:
to credit funds to the accounts of natural persons on transfers initiated with the use of electronic means of payment issued by participants of international payment systems operating in the territory of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus;
