    Well, just a month ago they couldn’t pay out a bounty to Kaspersky for a 0day exploit they found due to the sanctions, so this seems a little off.

      Can Russians still buy stuff from the App Store?

        Only via complicated shady schemes. The simplest option is to go to another country, open a bank account and buy a sim.
