In the latest of an ever-growing number of companies making the same decision,Uncategorized Archives PayPal shut down its services in Russia. The move was a direct reaction to Russia's unprovoked war with Ukraine.
Ukraine's minister of digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, posted a letter from PayPal on Saturday confirming the news. "PayPal supports the Ukrainian people and stands with the international community in condemning Russia's violent military aggression in Ukraine," the letter read.
A PayPal spokesperson told Reuters that it would support withdrawals in Russia "for a period of time, ensuring that account balances are dispersed in line with applicable laws and regulations."

PayPal is obviously a major financial service, and it's not the only one to ditch Russia. Both Visa and Mastercard suspended operations in the country as well, along with American Express. "It’s now basically impossible to send money to any individual in Russia," said Charles Delingpole, CEO of ComplyAdvantage, in an interview with CNBC covering the PayPal news.
It's unclear, when, if ever, these major companies will return to Russia.
