"Austrian banks, for instance, refuse to open accounts for Russian non-governmental organizations working in the field of bilateral humanitarian and cultural cooperation," Lyubinsky said on Telegram. Moreover, the Russian embassy in Vienna is deliberately being isolated by the local media, he also said. Lyubinsky pointed out that his "rare" interviews with Austrian media always contain an editorial note with an explanation as to why a Russian official had been given the floor. At the same time, the embassy is trying to maintain informal contact with journalists and promising online news outlets, the ambassador added. In early March, US Treasury sanctions enforcement official Anna Morris went to Vienna to meet with Austrian government officials and representatives of Raiffeisen Bank International. She reportedly encouraged the banking giant to examine its Russian exposure and avoid any dealings linked to the Russian military-industrial complex or else risk being barred from the US financial system.

Austrian Banks Refuse to Open Accounts for Russian Humanitarian NGOs, Russian Ambassador Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Austrian banks refuse to open accounts for Russian nonprofit organizations working for bilateral humanitarian and cultural cooperation, Russian Ambassador in Vienna Dmitry Lyubinsky said.
"Austrian banks, for instance, refuse to open accounts for Russian non-governmental organizations working in the field of bilateral humanitarian and cultural cooperation," Lyubinsky said on Telegram.
Moreover, the Russian embassy in Vienna is deliberately being isolated by the local media, he also said.
"Our embassy is in a pure and simple information blockade. Our comments and articles on topical issues of the international agenda almost never appear in the mainstream media. They say they [comments and articles] are contrary to our editorial policy," the ambassador added.
Lyubinsky pointed out that his "rare" interviews with Austrian media always contain an editorial note with an explanation as to why a Russian official had been given the floor. At the same time, the embassy is trying to maintain
informal contact with journalists and promising online news outlets, the ambassador added.
"We have always supported open and unbiased dialogue. The one condition is that they want to hear what we have to say," Lyubinsky said.
In early March, US Treasury sanctions enforcement official Anna Morris went to Vienna to meet with Austrian government officials and representatives of Raiffeisen Bank International. She reportedly encouraged the banking giant to examine its
Russian exposure and avoid any dealings linked to the Russian military-industrial complex or else risk being barred from the US financial system.
