HodlHodl, based out of the EU, LocalCryptos, LocalCoinSwap, and RoboSats are also centralized services -- but they have not mentioned complying with these sanctions from the EU.
They are KYC-Free P2P platforms, (and non-custodial as well) so they can't even know which users are in Russia (albeit I suppose if they wanted to they could restrict listings for RUB (currency) and/or payment methods exclusive to Russia.
Bisq, being a second layer protocol implemented with open source software is probably the only true decentralized P2P trading platform, at this point.
