“NACP has put the Austrian banking group Raiffeisen Bank International on the list of international sponsors of war over the continuation of the bank’s work in Russia and the official recognition of the so-called ‘DPR’ and ‘LPR’ through its representative office in the Russian Federation.”
According to NACP, the bank contributed almost five times more funds to the Russian budget in 2022 against 2021, namely EUR 559 million, which is “equal to the cost of about 95 Kalibr missiles.”
