The verification will be carried out by the Minzifres, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Development, Roskomnadzor and the FSB. It is planned that the work will end to the fourth quarter of 2026. The purpose of such measures is to reduce cases of theft of accounts and fraud.
