Poland and the Baltic countries have challenged the European Union and asked for Gazprombank to be disconnected from the international SWIFT system. This is reported by the publication EuObserver.
The request is explained by the fact that the role of the financial institution in the establishment scheme in the embezzlement of public funds is high and that the Kremlin uses it to advance its political interests.
