Back in early March, Apple announced its withdrawal from the Russian market.
Apple has blocked the addition of payment cards of the Russian Mir system to the Apple Pay payment service. This was stated by Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov.
“Apple Pay no longer allows you to add new World cards and pay with previously added cards. Thank you Apple for adhering to the principles, “Fedorov wrote.
Russian users have also confirmed the impossibility of adding Mir cards to Apple's service, Medusa writes. When trying to add a map “World”, the service reports: “The map is not available. It cannot be used on Apple Pay at this time. ” Then users are asked to try again or add a map later.

Visa and Mastercard cards, which were also blocked in Russia, could not be added to it.
In addition, Apple has removed RT and Sputnik's propaganda resources from the App Store outside of Russia. The company also blocked access to broadcast its spring presentation for users from Russia.
