Sanctions have also been imposed on Belarus for sup­port­ing the Russian inva­sion. Individual sanc­tions are direct­ed against those respon­si­ble for sup­port­ing, financ­ing or car­ry­ing out actions that under­mine the ter­ri­to­r­i­al integri­ty, sov­er­eign­ty, and inde­pen­dence of Ukraine, as well as those who ben­e­fit from these actions. After the intro­duc­tion of sanc­tions, the author­i­ties of the Russian Federation and Belarus, state and pri­vate com­pa­nies, as well as oli­garchs who fell under sanc­tions, began to use var­i­ous mech­a­nisms to cir­cum­vent sanc­tions. In the cur­rent sanc­tions’ envi­ron­ment, Russia still has enough room for free maneu­vers. There is a wide range of loop­holes for evad­ing sanc­tions. The Russian author­i­ties use part­ners of Russia – indi­vid­u­als, legal enti­ties, and the gov­ern­ments of the states — strate­gic part­ners of the Russian Federation who are not sanctioned.<br /> <br /> Legal and con­sult­ing com­pa­nies in Russia, Central Asia and Western coun­tries offer ser­vices for the relo­ca­tion of busi­ness [https://www.opendemocracy.net/ Go to this site] from Russia to the mem­ber states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). <br /> <br /> The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as Russia. The Russian Federation con­trols the EAEU. The EAEU is a free trade bloc that has inter­na­tion­al trade treaties with Iran, Serbia, Singapore and Vietnam and nego­ti­ates with many oth­ers, most notably India and China. The CIS also includes Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. This inter­state union func­tions some­what dif­fer­ent­ly than the EAEU, but it pro­vides for par­tial free trade between all mem­bers. For many goods that move to the CIS, there are no export and import duties.<br /> <br /> The pur­pose of the ana­lyt­i­cal report is a com­pre­hen­sive study of the issues of cir­cum­ven­tion of sanc­tions by Russia with the help of the Central Asian states, legal enti­ties (orga­ni­za­tions) and indi­vid­u­als (cit­i­zens) of these coun­tries and the pre­sen­ta­tion to the world com­mu­ni­ty of rec­om­men­da­tions to improve the effec­tive­ness of sanc­tions and block the abil­i­ty of the Russian Federation to cir­cum­vent sanctions.<br /> <br /> The ter­ri­to­r­i­al focus of the study is the states of Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. This choice is deter­mined by the active use of these states to cir­cum­vent sanc­tions and the use of the same type of schemes by the Russian regime in this region. <br /> <br /> In cas­es where the mech­a­nism for cir­cum­vent­ing sanc­tions includes not only the states of Central Asia, but also oth­er coun­tries of the EAEU and the CIS, the authors of the report con­sid­er the entire range of par­tic­i­pat­ing states. The authors of the report believe that in the future it is nec­es­sary to study oth­er region­al groups of states in order to iden­ti­fy mech­a­nisms for cir­cum­vent­ing sanc­tions and block­ing these mechanisms. <br /> <br /> The report was pre­pared on the basis of infor­ma­tion from pub­licly avail­able open sources. <br /> <br /> When work­ing on the report, the authors used a sys­tem of meth­ods for mon­i­tor­ing pub­lic sources and qual­i­ta­tive and quan­ti­ta­tive meth­ods for ana­lyz­ing infor­ma­tion. Wherever pos­si­ble, infor­ma­tion from one source has been ver­i­fied against oth­er sources.<br /> <br /> Descriptions of sanc­tions against the Russian Federation, its legal enti­ties and indi­vid­u­als are pub­licly avail­able. For this rea­son, the authors do not describe them in detail in the present report.<br /> <br /> The report cov­ers the peri­od from the begin­ning of the Russian aggres­sion in February 2022 to the end of December 2022.<br /> <br /> Download PDF<br /> <br /> Обход западных санкций в странах Центральной Азии Скачать на русском языке PDF<br /> <br /> The orig­i­nal source of arti­cle: FREEDOM FOR EURASIA</div>
