From now on, all companies that continue to cooperate with the aggressor and are included in the list of “International Sponsors of War are included in the World-Check database, the website of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention states.
The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has received such an answer from the international company LSEG, the owners of Refinitiv, the operator of the World-Check database.
“Foreign companies that continue to cooperate with russia, despite sanctions, are included now in World-check – the largest database for reviewing counterparties regarding their ties to terrorist organizations, fraud, etc. This will create significant problems for them in further support of the war because banks and insurance companies use World-check to assess risks. Therefore, those companies facing the war will be limited in their free access to personal and corporate finances,” – said Oleksandr Novikov, head of the NACP.
The list of "International Sponsors of the War" can be found on the "War and Sanctions" portal. It includes international companies that supply the public and private sectors of the russian federation with critical goods and services, as well as replenish the russian budget and thus finance the war against Ukraine.
The United States is not yet ready to recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism. In their opinion, the recognition of russia as a country sponsoring terrorism can affect global food security and other international processes. Thus, it will create a negative effect on Ukraine itself.
The EU has recently expanded the list of personal sanctions against russians.
