According to Мінфін: The European Commission has decided to classify Russia as a country with a high financial risk due to shortcomings in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing systems. This decision is crucial for ensuring the security of the EU financial system and global financial stability. It will also help counter various threats emanating from Russia, such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and evasion of international sanctions.

The decision of the European Commission has received support from Ukraine's Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko, who expressed gratitude for the swift inclusion of Russia in the list of high-risk countries. It is claimed that this will enhance the security of the global financial system and assist in countering threats from the aggressor state.
