The enterprise is thus effectively confiscated by the Crimean “authorities”.

In terms of volume of trade, it is the biggest commercial seaport in Crimea.

It manufactures anti-aircraft weaponry including surface-to-air missiles which it supplies to the Russian army. The Russian authorities have been providing heavy weaponry to separatists in Eastern Ukraine, contributing to the destabilisation of Ukraine. These weapons are used by the separatists, including for shooting down airplanes. As a State-owned company, Almaz-Antey therefore contributes to the destabilisation of Ukraine. The Russian military forces continue to use missile systems such as the S-300 surface-to-air missile family, Strela-10 and Sosna-R anti-aircraft missile systems in the war of aggression against Ukraine, which are developed and produced by Almaz-Antey. Defence corporation Almaz-Antey is therefore responsible for supporting materially actions which undermine and threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. | 30.7.2014 23. | PJSC “Russian National Commercial Bank” (Публичное акционерное общество “Российский национальный коммерческий банк”) | Address: 295000, Simferopol, Naberezhnaja str named after 60th anniversary of USSR, 34 295000, Симферополь, ул.

It has become the dominant player in the market, while it had no presence in Crimea before the annexation. By buying or taking over from branches of retreating banks operating in Crimea, RNCB supported materially and financially the actions of the Russian government to integrate Crimea into the Russian Federation, thus undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity. On 29 January 2020 The Russian Central Bank decided to reorganise the Sevastopol Marine Bank with the participation of RNCB. The bank participated in two large infrastructure projects in Crimea – it finances the construction of a new air terminal complex in Simferopol and generation facilities (Balaklavskaya TPP and Tavricheskaya TPP). In 2023, the RNCB became a subsidiary of the state-owned VTB Bank, Russia’s largest Bank, which is a systemically important financial institution of the Russian government and remains a primary source of revenue for the Russian Federation. The RNCB therefore supports financially the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
