EU may exclude more Russian banks from SWIFT in late February
The European Union plans to ban some more Russian banks from the international interbank system SWIFT, Reuters reported (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/poland-lithuania-want-nuclear-curbs-new-eu-sanctions-russia-2023-01-13/), citing sources without naming the banks. 
The new restrictions will be included in the 10th sanctions package, which is expected to be made public by February 24, 2023.
The 10th package of sanctions against Russia is also expected to include restrictions against Russian media and the Russian nuclear sector. 
The EU has already removed Russia's largest banks from SWIFT: Sberbank, VTB Bank, Otkritie Bank, Novikombank, Promsvyazbank, Rossiya Bank, Credit Bank of Moscow, Russian Agricultural Bank and Sovcombank. 
Nevertheless, Poland, the Baltic countries and Ireland proposed in September to exclude four more banks from the SWIFT system – Gazprombank, Alfa-Bank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank.
