Just Germany, Italy, Hungary and Cyprus. They're effectively now aiding the slaughter of Ukrainians. Not just that, Germany also forbid other EU countries to send weapons to Ukraine. I always thought Germany had an unfair deal in WWII but maybe they're as bad as everyone says. Millions potentially dead but hey, at least we saved some money!
Swift is a nuclear weapon. Once they unleash it alternatives gain traction and it may have negative consequences. Not to forget - Russia sits on a pile of ressources, we sit on a pile of cash. Without ressources money means nothing.
