The announcement positions Ukraine closer to the European Union than Russia on matters of virtual currency regulation, even as Russia has moved to solidify its influence over the former USSR member state on the national stage. Russia abruptly banned bitcoin earlier this year, in what has been one of the more hostile reactions to the emerging technology.”
