Russia’s classification of “unfriendly countries” has gone beyond foreign economic policy. It now affects local courts, family law, property and financial obligations. A series of decrees and decisions that extend it to individuals, including child custody cases, are doing this. The list was formalized as a countermeasure by a government order in March 2022. This happened several weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand and the member states of the European Union. The latter have clashed with Russia’s aggression, while sanctions against Russia have remained at the center of the confrontation.
