PayPal has stopped service in Russia because of “violent military aggression.”

Due to the financial sanctions imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, among others, some Russian users may have been unable to use their bank cards to make PayPal payments anyway. Apple Pay and Google Pay have already been disabled for certain users, since the sanctions target Russia’s top financial institutions, preventing bank clients from making card payments to businesses and services registered in sanctioned nations.
