💡Bank of Georgia has decided to introduce a form of condemnation of the Russian occupation of Ukraine and Georgia before opening bank accounts for citizens of Russia and Belarus.
The Bank of Georgia fulfills all the sanctions imposed on Russia. «If a person not affected by sanctions against Russia confirms his position by signing this document, the bank will consider the possibility of cooperation with him," the Bank of Georgia explained.
📌 The form of the Bank of Georgia is as follows:
📍 I agree that the Russian Federation is an occupier that invaded Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022;
📍 I support the territorial integrity of Georgia and consider Abkhazia and Samachablo to be part of Georgia;
📍 I agree not to share Russian propaganda and fight it;
📍I know that violating these requirements will result in the cancellation of my Bank of Georgia account.

❗️The previous news is not fake, but the most real one: in order to open an account in the "Bank of Georgia", citizens of Russia and Belarus must sign a paper stating that they recognize the occupation and the fact of war on the part of Russia.
I can say on my own that I will sign such a paper with pleasure and I always say about the occupation of Georgia, that Putin is a criminal and for many Russians this is a special time. Choices are: they are with darkness and evil or on the side of light.
❗️For the signing of such a document in the Russian Federation, criminal liability for up to 15 years is threatened.
