The State Bureau of Investigation made an announcement on its website.

Russians had been using cryptocurrency exchanges as one means of circumventing the sanctions imposed on Russia by the international community.

"The Bureau has found that certain representatives of the crypto industry have allowed users from Russia and Belarus to carry out anonymous cross-border currency and cryptocurrency transactions contrary to FATF requirements, circumventing sanctions," the statement said.

Sanctions and financing of subversive activities against Ukraine are being circumvented, including through certain Ukrainian websites, but didn't specify what resources were involved.

After Ukraine appealed to the world's cryptocurrency exchanges to influence the situation, the accounts Russians used to bypass the sanctions were blocked.
