Binance Supplied Moscow Client Details Used in Case Over Ukraine Donations, Documents Show

An exclusive report says Binance provided Russian security services with information about a Moscow-linked client whose cryptocurrency donations prosecutors tied to Ukraine’s armed forces. Investigators cite documents describing requests sent to Binance and a response that included transaction history and personal identifiers. The client, Yuri Belenky, was detained in Russia and later charged under terrorism-related statutes. Binance withdrew from Russia in 2023 and denies improper cooperation, while human-rights groups argue the transfer of data enabled politically motivated prosecution.
