Our allies have raised concerns about the lack of a regulatory framework for such a list. Therefore, the Foreign Ministry said that the registry had a negative impact on “decision-making to counter Russian aggression.”
This was reported by the Government Portal. This issue was discussed at an expanded meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers in the presence of the NSDC Secretary, the Head of the SBU, the Prosecutor General, and the Head of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. The meeting was also attended by representatives of foreign embassies and the European Union.
In turn, the Ministry of Justice emphasized that it is unacceptable to disseminate such information on behalf of the state without regulation at the legislative level. And the National Security and Defense Council noted that all comprehensive information on sanctions is now contained in the State Register of Sanctions, so there is no need for additional institutions.
The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption also agreed that there is a question of further functioning of the list.
Therefore, the following decisions were made:
▪️всю information from the page “International Sponsors of War” will be transferred to the interagency working group on the implementation of the state sanctions policy, which will consider the existence of grounds for imposing sanctions by the NSDC;
▪️сторінка “International Sponsors of War” will redirect to the website of the State Register of Sanctions.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received many appeals from representatives of the diplomatic corps of partner countries regarding the lack of a regulatory framework for the existence of this list. And, accordingly, the negative impact of this list on making important decisions to counter Russian aggression.
This happened, for example, with the Hungarian bank OTP. Because of the bank’s inclusion in the list of war sponsors, the country blocked the tranche of aid to Ukraine and the adoption of the sanctions package.
