NACP suspends 5 Greek shipping companies and OTP Bank from the list of international sponsors of war

The National Agency for the Corruption Prevention suspends the status of international sponsors of war for the Hungarian OTP Bank and five Greek shipping companies

The agency's press service reports.

The decision was made as a result of negotiations between the Agency’s representatives and representatives of companies and governments in these countries to terminate cooperation with the Russian Federation. 

Their further removal from the list will depend on the fulfilment of the above conditions for suspending business in Russia.

The agency hopes that this decision will lead to Hungary's unblocking of €500 million of vital EU military aid for the Ukrainian people, and will also eliminate the possibility of Greece blocking the future EU sanctions package aimed at reducing Russia’s ability to continue the war.

It will be recalled that Hungary has stated that it will continue to block EU aid to Ukraine due to the inclusion of the OTP Bank in the list of international sponsors of terrorism.
