Protesters slam bank's cooperation with Russian fossil industry

A dozen activists, supporters of the Stop Dirty Money group, appeared in front of the Raiffeisenbank branch in Prague-Dejvice this morning, demanding that the bank stop supporting the Russian fossil industry, which considerably contributes to the financing of the war in Ukraine. The group staged a similar protest in April already. In March, Raiffeisenbank International said it was considering leaving Russia in the wake of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. Reacting to the protest today, Raiffeisenbank said it does not contribute to financing Russia's fossil industry.
