Russians will no longer be able to buy apps on Google Play

Google continues to introduce restrictions for Russian users. The company recently removed monetization on YouTube, and now it has banned Russians from making purchases and paying for subscriptions through Google Play. That is, it will be possible to download only free games and applications.

"Due to disruption of the payment system, in the coming days we will suspend the Google Play billing system for users in Russia. This means that users will not be able to purchase apps and games, pay for a subscription, or make any in-app purchases of digital goods using Google Play in Russia.
