While Rybalko noted that such a decision should have been taken two years ago.

“Two years ago we held a joint meeting with the Committee on the fight against corruption and crime and appealed to the leadership of the national security Council with the fact that today there are problems with the presence of Russian banks in the financial market of a country at war. Unfortunately, the response was not received. I welcome today’s decision, but why it was not accepted two years ago?”,- said the head of finkomitet of Parliament.
