Ukraine To Seek War-Crime Charges Against Major Western Banks
The leaders of Western banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and HSBC are committing war crimes by continuing to indirectly financing the Russian state, an economic adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said Tuesday.
In an interview with CNBC Oleg Ustenko announced that Kiev continues to gather data on banks it believes are financing traders of Russian oil, and plans to forward its complaints to the International Criminal Court.
“There is no doubt that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine, against Ukrainians," Ustenko told the outlet. “In our minds, everybody who is financing these war criminals who are doing these terrible things in Ukraine are also committing war crimes,” he added, noting that Kiev will not pursue the banks themselves, but their leaders and managers.
Ustenko had previously called on the bosses of several major Western banks to cut ties with companies that trade Russian oil.
