The Russian side is now left with the opportunity to use only one Nordea bank. At the same time, transferring money to the embassy's account requires a lengthy process of consideration.
The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the fact of imposing restrictions on the use of accounts by the Embassy of Finland and the Finnish Consulate General in St. Petersburg. The pitch is a mirror response to similar limitations imposed by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier this year in response to Russia's sanctions against Moscow. The measures are a retaliatory measure, Russian diplomats said.
