On 1 July 2025, two new Presidential decrees dealing with counter-sanctions were enacted with immediate effect.
Decree No. 435 softened, through introducing amendments to the existing regulatory framework, the restrictions applicable to gratuitous (nil consideration) transactions between spouses or close relatives (as defined in accordance with Russian family law), where at least one party is a national of an unfriendly state.
Decree No. 436 explicitly exempted new investments made in Russia by foreign investors (including those associated with unfriendly states) from a significant portion of anti-sanctions restrictions and introduced a new type of accounts (‘In’ Type Accounts) which can be used by foreign investors.
