Podoliak pointed directly to raiffeisenbankthe Russian subsidiary of the Austrian bank Raiffeisen Banking Group; the german multinational Meter; or the French group Auchanaccording to the agency ukrinform.
“By paying taxes to Russia, they are actually financing the war as such (…). And it looks, to put it mildly, a little strange. So, of course, there are many more companies that need to impose sanctions,” Podoliak said.
Along these lines, the main adviser to the Ukrainian Presidency regretted that in Europe there are “certain forces” that, “after all”, would “like Russia to remain a partner in the market”.
Podoliak remarked that to end the war in Ukraine it is necessary not only to supply the country with weapons, but also to limit economic contributions to Russia as much as possible, thus avoiding taxes.
“It’s obvious. You cannot give weapons to Ukraine with one hand and support the financing of the Russian Army through tax systems with the other. It is necessary to talk about this directly, clearly name those companies that pay taxes in Russia and on which sanctions should be imposed,” he said.
