the authorities of the Russian Federation,
by the decision of the president,
will be able to take
"necessary measures to protect Russian citizens who are arrested (detained).

Russian Ministry of Digital Development
to instruct suspending payments for Apple services via mobile phones
. [ effective:. 1 April 2026 ]
In a meeting that took place on 28 March 2026
The order was explained, among other things, by the need to:.
"prevent payments for VPN services"
"Apple is restricting alternative payment methods
and failing to comply with Roskomnadzor's demands to remove VPN services,
which account for over 80% of all purchases, from the Russian App Store"
Impacting Russia's four largest telecom operators:.
- Beeline
- MegaFon
- MTS
- T2
In 2022, After Russia launched the Special Military Operation . [ SVO ] in Ukraine
Apple restricted payment methods in Russia:.
- Apple Pay . [ suspended ]
- Mir cards . [ blocked and disabled those already linked to Apple ID's ] . March 2022
- Visa and MasterCard . [ of sanctioned banks ] . (blocked)
Other Russian apps removed from Apple Store included:.
airline services, banking, (domestic) messenging services
"I'm certain the initiative is irrelevant
because it doesn't address the fight against VPN's
or the return of Russian apps to the App Store...
Apple is unlikely to listen, as the company
typically doesn't adjust global moderation rules
to accommodate local restrictions.
Ultimately, the problem won't be solved,
and it will be ordinary citizens who suffer the most"
