Apple cuts off Russian App Store and subscriptions due to sanctions.

Apple Ireland, which handles the company’s non-US business, was recently fined for violating sanctions against business dealings with Russia. In response, the subsidiary has shut down payment processing in Russia, cutting customers off from Apple Music, iCloud, and even making it impossible for them to buy new apps.

As of April 1, 2026, payment processing is no longer available for purchases made on the App Store or other Apple Media Services in Russia. This might affect your existing subscriptions. New purchases, including in-app purchases and subscription renewals, are no longer available in Russia unless you have funds in your Apple Account balance.
