Activists temporarily unblocking Sberbank's Kyiv headquarters

Several activists are removing the concrete blocks that were put earlier this month at the entrance to the central office of PJSC Sberbank, Sberbank of Russia's subsidiary in Ukraine, on Volodymyrska Street in Kyiv.

The activists have cleared nearly the entire wall of the building of the blocks, stickers and writings, an Interfax correspondent reported from the scene on Tuesday. He said the activists were using hand tools.

It had been reported earlier that nationalists had walled the entrance to the Sberbank headquarters in the center of Kyiv with concrete blocks in mid-March.

The National Corps party, whose members were hindering the operations of Russian bank subsidiaries in Ukraine, said on March 27 it would temporarily suspend the blockade so that Ukrainian citizens could withdraw their savings but was determined to resume the blockade until all Sberbank of Russia branches in Ukraine fully ceased their operations.
