"To seize intellectual property rights that arise for Internet users using the website vilkov.com by obliging Internet providers ... operators, telecom providers listed in the register on the official website of the commission, close to access to it," the commission said on its website, citing the relevant court order.

The specified site provides services for the exchange/purchase/sale of electronic money, their withdrawal to the cards of Ukrainian and Russian banks, cash transactions with PayPal prohibited in Ukraine WebMoney, Yandex.Money, as well as BitCoin, AdvencedCash and PerfectMoney systems.
