Group of Seven (G7) leaders said on Sunday that Western allies have decided to cut off "certain Russian banks" from the worldwide interbanking communication system called SWIFT.

The statement, in a joint declaration published by the French presidency, did not specify which Russian banks would be affected, adding a transatlantic task force will soon be put in place to coordinate sanctions against Russia.
