Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has urged China’s state-owned UnionPay to align with global sanctions and cut ties with Russia.

“Russian money is bloody! It helps Russian missiles attack dwelling houses, kindergartens, and hospitals in Ukraine, and kill civilians!” Fedorov posted in Chinese on Twitter on March 12, calling on UnionPay International (UPI), a subsidiary of China UnionPay that offers cross-border transactions, to suspend services in Russia.
