KYIV, Oct 23 – Ukraine, on the opening day of a new plenary meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in Paris, once again calls on this organization to blacklist Russia due to the further growth of risks to global financial security.

“Russia continues to systematically violate the group’s standards, in particular it cooperates and trades in weapons with countries blacklisted by the FATF - Iran and North Korea, and also recognized the financing of the terrorist organization PMC Wagner,” emphasized Minister of Finance of Ukraine Serhiy Marchenko.
