Recital 27

(27) Decision (CFSP) 2025/2032 makes certain technical amendments to Regulation (EU) No 833/2014, including extending the deadlines applicable to certain derogations needed for divestments from Russia. Operators should be aware that Russia is a country where the rule of law is no longer applied, and that the Russian Federation has adopted several pieces of legislation targeting assets of companies from so-called ‘unfriendly countries’, including Member States. That situation could lead to Union assets being stranded in Russia without the possibility for orderly withdrawal. Against this background, given that undertakings in the Union are strongly advised to take any possible steps to wind-down businesses in Russia and not to start new businesses there, it is appropriate to extend divestment derogations to enable Union undertakings to exit as swiftly as possible from the Russian market. The extended derogations are granted on a case-by-case basis by Member States and focused on allowing an orderly divestment process, which would not be possible without the extension of those deadlines.
