BLOCK RUSSIA FROM SWIFT IMMEDIATELY.

Russia started an open war against Ukraine under fabricated pretexts. This must have immediate and far-reaching consequences. One of the most effective ways would be to cut off Russia from the international payment system SWIFT.

According to media reports, the German government along with Italy, Cyprus, and Hungary are refusing to exclude Russia from SWIFT because of their own economic interests. This must be revised immediately. To constrain Russia's war of aggression, every day, every hour, every minute counts. We call on the EU government to change course immediately and work for immediate exclusion of Russia from SWIFT.
