  • The June 27 decree was officially published on June 30 and formalizes a ban on trade and nullifies any payment obligations under Russian law.
  • Daimler Truck halted all activities in Russia immediately after the 2022 invasion and sold its remaining 15% stake in Kamaz in 2024.
  • A company spokesperson confirmed there are no ongoing operations or financial exposures in Russia and said the sanctions will not affect global business.
  • The Kremlin’s blacklist forms part of a broader pattern of reciprocal measures against Western firms following sanctions over the Ukraine war.
