The above obligation was initiated by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The website of the Cabinet of Ministers already has a published resolution (number - 637 dated May 27, 2017)

If a foreign state introduces a prohibition on payment systems that have registered operators by the Central Bank, cross-border transfers of funds from a bank account within the framework of payment systems can be carried out from the Russian Federation to such jurisdiction only if the payment infrastructure operators remain under indirect/direct control of Russian legal entities, and it was prescribed by the Federal Law.
