Fictitious companies in Cyprus, which are within the sphere of influence of Russian oligarchs close to the Kremlin, Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, have long been serviced by Austrian banking group Raiffeisen Bank International.

The Russian subsidiary of Raiffeisen Bank International does not just continue to operate in Russia and sponsor terrorism, it also offers credit holidays to Russians who are fighting in Ukraine. This is evidenced by the information on the bank's website.

In addition, on its website, the Russian Raiffeisenbank recognizes the terrorist organizations LNR and DNR and calls the war in Ukraine a "special operation".

In 2022, the bank paid 4.8 times more to the Russian budget than in the entire pre-war year. The Russian division of Raiffeisen Bank paid €559 million to the budget of the aggressor country.

Thus, Raiffeisen Bank continues to sponsor the military aggression of Russia, a state which the European Parliament recognised to be a sponsor of terrorism.
The Russian division accounted for more than half of the group's net profit in 2022. The profit of the Russian division amounted to 2.058 billion euros, while the total profit of the group was 3.797 billion euros.
