Not fully correct. According to ICAO, the CoA is issued by the country of registration, that is Bermuda in this case. When the CoA is revoked, the aircraft is assumed to no longer be airworthy and so, it should not fly.
The Russian CAA attempts to overturn this "automatic" grounding by registering the leased aircraft in Russia are a breach to ICAO rules, stating that an aircraft can be registered with only one country.
