Slowly shutting Russia down from every angle. Hoisted with its own petard. Glorious. 🇺🇦
Not quite that, at least according to later reports. This is an excerpt from a document dated April 2022 prohibiting any bank from giving out Visa cards to residents of other jurisdictions where the bank does not have a license to operate
It’s not about Russians, it’s about non-residents.
