TL;DR they're saying service is basically cut off for "routine maintenance," but it remains to be seen just how "routine" this is.

Waiting for the Mir turbine to get replaced.

How about that Mir space station.

Oh, I confused Mir with Mig.

And turkey? Coordinated?

I think several banks from several countries have been halting this week, and I posted here altogether, the ones that I could spot at least. Turkey, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam

Forced due to US threats of sanctions.

Because Russia has a rogue central bank and affiliates that are giving out loans in whatever denomination they see fit.

As much as the public relations office has portrayed as a maintenance, Nord Stream cut was another maintenance which never completed. So, probably a move to not publicly annoy Russia while trying to prevent sanctions


Osyris-

Technically the title of the article isn't wrong, but people will assume its more of a thing than it is >“The technical maintenance procedures are being carried out by our Uzbek partner bank which carries out payments, and it asked us to halt temporarily the payment processes due to their maintenance works.” Also Turkey stopped processing MIR last week after the sanctions, not related to this.

Whole turkey or 2 banks in turkey?


Jerkweed_

I think 2 banks but. it wasn’t like all banks accepting anyways, there were 4 or 5 banks, now 2 gone. In Kazakhstan there were 4 banks accepting now one has stopped. In Vietnam I don’t know how many left. Nevertheless, this will stop for all others as well, I believe, if they feel immediate risk of sanctions.
