The economic barrier on Russia has widened more than two dozen since the country launched an attack on Ukraine. Google has previously barred Android users in Russia from making app purchases and subscribing to paid services through the App Store. Starting last Thursday, they will be barred from downloading paid apps and developers will no longer be able to update their apps.
Only free app downloads and updates can be done after this. Action was taken by Google to comply with the economic and technological sanctions that the United States has imposed on Russia to put pressure on President Putin to halt military operations.
Economic barriers forced Russian cinemas to screen illegally downloaded films. Meanwhile he foundry in Russia was barred from accessing ARM -owned technology by the UK government just a few days ago. Although it posed various problems, Russia still insisted on continuing operations in Ukraine.
