Zelensky Aide Raps Western Banks For Committing 'War Crimes'

Oleh Ustenko, an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky, has sent letters to JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Citigroup, and Crédit Agricole requesting that they cease doing business with companies that sell Russian oil and shares in the state-owned oil and gas corporations Gazprom and Rosneft.

Ustenko told the Financial Times that the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice aims to sue the banks before the International Criminal Court after the war is finished.

Ustenko stated, "They are committing war crimes because they are helping the Putin regime."

Kyiv Independent reported on the 17th of July, 2022, that the Washington Post also stated that Big Tech refuses demands to delete disinformation and hate speech against Ukrainians.

As of late June, according to research from the Disinformation Situation Center shared with the Washington Post, approximately 70 percent of YouTube and Twitter accounts classified as promoting anti-Ukrainian hate speech remained online.

According to reports, LinkedIn removed less than half of the posts Ukrainian officials flagged as Russian pro-war propaganda.

The Wall Street Journal said that Chinese companies have increased their exports of microchips and other electrical components and raw materials to meet the needs of the Russian military so that it can continue fighting in Ukraine.

In the first five months of 2022, microchip exports increased to almost $50 million, undercutting Western efforts to halt the Russian war effort in Ukraine.

Gazprom has requested that Siemens supply it with transit documentation for the Nord Stream 1 turbine. The turbine for Russia's Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea was being fixed in Canada at the facilities of the German technical company Siemens.

Canada just permitted the corporation to circumvent Western sanctions and return the turbine to Germany, despite Ukraine's fears that this will allow Russia to continue weaponizing its energy supply to Europe.

The Ukrainian World Congress is suing the Canadian government for allegedly breaking sanctions with this decision.
