In February 2022, after Moscow launched an attack on Ukraine, many countries worldwide began imposing economic sanctions on Russia as a response to the attack, with the goal of punishing Russia’s economy.

 In retaliation, Russia expanded the list of countries that were “unfriendly” towards it to include 48 countries worldwide, which had imposed economic sanctions or severed diplomatic ties.

Countries included in the list of “unfriendly” countries with Russia include the United States and Canada, European Union states, the United Kingdom (including Jersey, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar), Ukraine, Montenegro, Switzerland, Albania, Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, North Macedonia, as well as Japan, South Korea, Australia, Micronesia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan (considered a territory of China but governed independently since 1949).

On July 22, 2022, Russia added Croatia, Denmark, Greece, Slovakia, and Slovenia to its list of “unfriendly countries.”

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin stated that this list now includes countries that have taken “unfriendly actions” against Russia, particularly regarding Russia’s diplomatic and consular representations abroad.

In July, Russian authorities provided a list of 10 requirements that would further complicate matters for foreign businesses operating in the country, including attempts to exit and re-enter the country’s market.

If a company is owned by individuals or parents from countries on the “unfriendly” list with Russia, the proceeds from the sale of their company to Russian owners may not be transferred abroad. — DSA
