Russia's designation of "unfriendly countries" has expanded beyond foreign economic policy into domestic courts, family law, property rights and financial obligations, with a string of decrees and rulings extending its reach to individuals. The list of states Moscow considers unfriendly was formalised as a form of retaliation in a government order in March 2022, weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It covers the US, the UK, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand and EU member states, all of which have pushed back against Russia's war of aggression.
