Apple on Wednesday confirmed that the Russian social network VKontakte has been removed from its app store (App Store) following new British sanctions against organizations and individuals in retaliation for annexation referendums held by Moscow in four regions of Ukraine.
Users of VKontakte (VK), a Russian platform similar to Facebook, can continue to use the app if they already have it on their iPhone, but cannot download or update it.
“There may be difficulties with notifications and payments,” the network said on Tuesday, adding that it has recently improved the app to run for a long time without updates.
Apple explained to AFP that VKontakte’s mobile service publishers are controlled by London-approved bodies, so these developers’ accounts have been blocked and their apps can no longer be downloaded in any country.
London on Monday announced new sanctions against Russia in response to referendums deemed “illegal” by Kyiv and its Western allies.
Access to social media and news sites in Russia has been severely restricted since the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Various local media and international platforms were blocked or forced to shut down by Moscow, suppressing any criticism of its attack.
