Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov announced new sanctions on the Russian Federation in the field of technology.

According to Ukrinform, the official said in a telegram.

According to Fedorov, after a lengthy investigation, the German criminal police blocked the server infrastructure of the illegal Russian-language online service Hydra Market, which is located in Germany and exists on the secret network Darknet. The server has been available since 2015. It has 17 million registered customers.

“In 2020, transactions worth at least 1.23 billion euros were processed on it. Experts believe that this is the largest network of illegal markets in the world. 23 million euros worth of bitcoin were found on the closing platform “, – official noted.

He noted that Intel, the world’s largest company producing semiconductor elements and devices, announced that it was withdrawing from Russia.

“The company is completely closing its business in Russia. Earlier, it announced that it stopped the supply of its products to Russia and Belarus, and now it has decided to permanently close all business processes in Russia,” said Fedorov.

The Russian government restricts access to Twitter accounts. The service’s official blog explained that the new policy is designed to address the “serious information imbalance” that occurs when the authoritarian government blocks access to online platforms while continuing to use the same platforms for propaganda.

Avid Technology Inc. is an American company specializing in audio and video technologies. It stopped selling and supporting all customers, users and dealers in Russia and Belarus.

The developer of Bumble Inc., which owns the dating services Bumble and Badoo, announced the end of its activities in the Russian Federation, as well as the removal of all its applications from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in Russia and Belarus.

Fedorov announced the indefinite suspension of new investments in Russia in response to the extensive invasion of Ukraine by Havaş Group’s international advertising network.

The European Union and a number of other countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia, are reportedly sanctioning Russia for its war in Ukraine. Many companies announced the end of business in Russia and withdrawal from projects with Russian partners.
