Ukraine’s central bank operating despite Russian strikes

KYIV (Reuters) – Ukraine’s banking system was operating on Monday despite Russian missile strikes across the country, the central bank said.

“The National Bank is in constant contact with banks and taking all necessary measures for their normal operation,” the National Bank of Ukraine said on its website.

It said the bank’s electronic payment system was operating as usual and retailers were accepting non-cash payments without interruption.
