Bank transfers:

There is a small list of Russian banks that are not under sanctions and open AED accounts for individuals and businesses: BKS Bank, AK Bars Bank, Credit-Europe Bank, ZENIT, and others. The same banks send SWIFT transfers to the UAE.

Taking into account the requirements of FATF and internal Russian laws, transactions over 1 million rubles are subject to additional verification by Rosfinmonitoring, accordingly, additional supporting documents may be requested (personal income tax certificates, loan agreements, sale of immovable property, motor vehicles, etc.) to confirm the legal origin of funds. Accordingly, for the legal transfer of funds to the UAE is enough to open a bank account in AED, transfer funds to it from any Russian ruble account, convert to AED and send SWIFT in payment for real estate.
