Pretty sure that's not how it works. If a party you lend to can unilaterally it becomes much harder to justify investing.
That's simply how it goes. Lawyers don't come into it since the decision is unilateral.

Except the whole point of courts is that these decisions aren't unilateral. From what I've seen, Russia's assets have been frozen (not repudiated), awaiting a much longer legal process (involving many lawyers) where they will (hopefully) be turned over to Ukraine as war reparations (once again, transferred not repudiated).
