Apple has removed several apps offering virtual private network (VPN) services from the Russian AppStore, following a request from Roskomnadzor, Russia’s media regulator, independent news outlet Mediazona reported on Thursday.

For that they can buy an android for 150$. If they expected protection from Apple,that’s on them.

Buy a cheap android burner and profit from side loading and alternative app stores. Simple,yes?

So you want apple to stop its AppStore in Russia but android phones and alternative stores should still be operational there?

They can’t keep it straight with the blind “Apple bad” circlejerk
