Consensus
- A draft law has been submitted to the State Duma by the Russian government allowing registration of vehicles listed in Interpol's database as stolen.
- The law aims to address legal issues for Russian citizens who purchased vehicles from 'unfriendly' countries, often unaware of their criminal history.

- Russian authorities have been unable to verify the circumstances of vehicle thefts because foreign law enforcement agencies are unresponsive.
- The registration process would not cancel the ongoing international razzia or legal claims by original owners or insurers.
