In order for the war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine to stop, any pressure must be exerted both on the authorities in the Kremlin and on the citizens of Russia, who still overwhelmingly support this war and supported by 78 percent the accession to the Russian Federation of four incompletely occupied regions of Ukraine . More than 40,000 Russian war crimes have already been documented in Ukraine. These are the crimes of the people of Russia.
Therefore, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe for the first time recognized the Russian Federation as a terrorist country. A similar decision can be made in the United States, the document is already in Congress.
On October 6, the European Union approved sanctions that provide for a ban on the opening and use of crypto wallets for users from the Russian Federation, regardless of the amount on the account.
To date, four crypto exchanges have already refused to cooperate with the Russians. The first to react to the EU decision was the Canadian crypto platform NFT Dapper Labs, which on the same day, October 6, suspended work with clients from Russia. The next day, a similar step was taken by the Cryptopay platform, and a few days later by the Finnish crypto exchange Localbitcoins, which is popular among Russians.
It is impossible to separate economics and politics from cryptocurrencies. States, of course, will influence the crypto-exchanges and crypto-platforms that operate on their territory.
