Netflix has suspended its service in Russia “given the circumstances on the ground,” a company spokesperson told Variety. The decision comes days after the popular streaming platform suspended all its ongoing projects in Russia and put acquisitions in the Slavic country on hold.
For its part, Spotify has also announced this Sunday that it is canceling its premium subscription for Russian users “due to new external restrictions” related to the departure of its main payment providers, such as Visa and Mastercard, from Russia.
“If you are already a Premium customer, this means that our next attempt to accept payment may fail. If we are unable to successfully process your next payment, your Spotify subscription will automatically become free on our service once your payment has failed.” “warned the music streaming platform.
