                              Illegal armed separatist group responsible for fighting against the Ukrainian government forces in the Eastern Ukraine, thus threatening the stability or security of Ukraine.

                              Its former leader Mr. Pavel Gubarev, is responsible for the taking over of the regional government building in Donetsk with pro-Russian forces and proclaiming himself the ‘people's governor’.

                              After the illegal annexation of Crimea, Russian National Commercial Bank (RNCB) became fully owned by the so- called ‘Republic of Crimea’.

By buying or taking over from branches of retreating banks operating in Crimea, RNCB supported materially and financially the actions of the Russian government to integrate Crimea into the Russian Federation, thus undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity.
