On August 1, 2025, a Russian court of general jurisdiction granted interim measures freezing assets in support of an LCIA arbitration. By decision dated October 20, 2025, a court of appeal upheld those interim measures. However, by decision dated February 17, 2026, a cassation court overturned the appellate decision and remanded the matter to the court of appeal for reconsideration.

Upon reconsideration, on April 29, 2026, the court of appeal overturned the interim measures granted in support of the LCIA arbitration. The court held, on the one hand, that the motion for interim measures had not been supported by sufficient evidence demonstrating the necessity and proportionality of the requested relief. On the other hand, in refusing to grant interim measures, the court noted that the seat of arbitration is located in an "unfriendly" country.
