Inditex closed its over 500 stores in Russia in March following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 and subsequent Western sanctions

The Kremlin considers the United Arab Emirates and a number of other Gulf and Asian nations as friendly countries whose companies are encouraged to do business in Russia.

The terms of the deal, which were not disclosed, will allow a “substantial number” of jobs to be preserved, Inditex said in a statement, as the transaction includes the transfer of most store lease contracts. Provided landlords approve the change in ownership, the Spanish firm said its premises could be adapted to accommodate Daher’s operations. A company source told Reuters that Daher Group is Emirati.

Another Spanish fashion retailer, Mango, said this year it was in talks with local partners in Russia to hand over the shops it had temporarily closed in March.
