The 1993 Minsk Convention ceased to apply to Ukraine on 29.12.2023: Russian documents need an apostille.

During martial law and for six months after it Ukraine accepts foreign documents without an apostille where that was the practice on 24.02.2022 (decision of the Ukrainian government). The rule is general and does not name Russia — check with the receiving side.
