“I believe that we do not have Russian banks, we have Ukrainian banks with Ukrainian capital. And until the moment they want to inject capital and issue loans to our enterprises (they should remain - editor’s note),” she noted, saying that Russian subsidiary banks also operate in Europe.
“These are not Russian banks that finance Russian business, these are Russian banks that contributed capital here, financed our Ukrainian business,” Gontareva said on Shuster Live.
“The question is not that the banks have Russian capital, but the question is that the loans issued to our companies and the deposits of our people there. As long as these banks behave well, I will protect them,” the head of the NBU emphasized.
