Russian authorities accused Apple of “politically motivated” and unfair competition: all applications of the VK holding were removed from the AppStore
On Thursday morning, Russian AppStore users could not find a single application of the VK holding in the catalogs - including the social networks VK, Odnoklassniki, the Zen platform, Mail Mail, VK Video, VK Music and others. The deletion occurred “without warning,” they complained to VK. The service administration considers Apple’s actions towards Russian users “unmotivated and unacceptable.” The Kremlin and the Russian government joined in criticizing Apple's move.
