Thus, the company joined the anti-Russian economic sanctions due to Russia's military aggression on the territory of Ukraine.
The international payment system PayPal announced on its website that it intends to block all electronic wallets of Russian citizens on March 18, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Focus.
Service employees ask all users located in Russia to withdraw funds from the account before this date in order to «to minimize possible further service disruptions».
«Due to recent events, we have decided to suspend our services for sending and receiving payments in Russia. At present, we retain the function of withdrawing funds», — reported on the site.
The company made such a decision in connection with Russia's military aggression on the territory of Ukraine. The director of the payment system, Dan Shulman, said that PayPal supports the international community, which condemns the actions of the Russian Federation in relation to Ukraine. Thus, the company joined the economic sanctions of the West against Russia due to the military invasion of Ukraine.
