Ukraine to Create a Terrorism Related List of Persons

A register of persons connected with terrorism, or those who are under international sanctions, will be created in Ukraine. The relevant decision was made by the Cabinet of Ministers.

It is noted that the Financial Monitoring Service should create the relevant database. It is responsible for the formation of such a list on the basis of court decisions, information from international organizations or other authorised bodies.

It is planned to enter the surname, name and patronymic of citizens, their date of birth, series and passport number or other document in the register. For legal entities, the database will contain information about the full name, location and identification code of the organisation.

The Ukrainian government has also approved regulations on a single information system to prevent and combat money laundering, terrorist financing and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
