It is unclear why the company took such a step, as it has been under US and EU sanctions for over a year and may not be concerned about the consequences of supporting the invader. The situation may just be a temporary bug, at least that’s what the official comment suggests.

what is known

• Support for Mir cards appeared on the company’s services a little over two months ago on January 28, 2022.
• Information about the shutdown has been confirmed in Huawei’s technical support.
• They suggested finding alternative payment methods – for example, by phone number.

Unfortunately, we may have difficulties with payments, including with Mir cards. We are trying to resolve this issue, unfortunately today it is not possible to pay with debit cards.
– Say it on Huawei.

The reason for such “difficulties” is not specified. It is likely that this was a minor failure and the company did not participate in the sanctions, as it might seem at first glance.

It is possible that the problems were caused by the company removing some of the sanctioned apps of Russian banks from AppGallery.
