Quote
The chairman did not explain how the security service was planning to block the accounts.

In the meantime, Reddit users have fuelled speculation that Ukranian exchange website BTCTrade.com.ua may be inaccessible to domestic Internet users.

If this escalates, it will result in the separatists keeping their funds in BTC and using it directly, instead of converting to local currency at an exchange.  Bitcoin's anti-fragility means every time it is attacked it gets stronger.  Bitcoin is a Saiyan.

 Huh

Their plan appears to be shutting down accounts at the local Ukrainian exchange BTCTrade.com.ua.  This won't accomplish anything other than creating a Bitcoin-based economy in Ukraine and among those selling to people in Ukraine.
