It is noted that not only the Russian SPFP, but also everyone who works with it fell under European sanctions.
New European Union sanctions have hit the Russian equivalent of SWIFT. Thus, the Financial Message Transmission System (FTMS), which was created by the Central Bank of Russia, came under restrictions.
The website of the European Council indicates that a decision has been made to ban the use of TFP. Thus, EU entities operating outside Russia will no longer be able to use SPFP or similar specialized services.
In addition, EU operators are prohibited from conducting transactions with legal entities included in the list of those who use TFP outside Russia.
The EU Council also introduced a ban on transactions with targeted financial institutions and suppliers of crypto assets established outside the EU if these organizations support the Russian defense industrial base by exporting, supplying, selling, transferring or transporting dual-use goods and technologies, firearms, etc. weapons and ammunition.

“….than originally planned because of Germany’s position.”what is it with Germany. The US and Germany are trying to eat their cake and have too. I’ve never seen such schizophrenic behavior by countries such as these two nations.
This is what happens when you vote for people into high office that should be shoe polishers at the airport instead.
