No, Google never stood up to Russia. A year ago they blocked a perfectly legal list of candidates published by Navalny team.

Brands don't care at all what's next to their advertising. It is much more important for them to be on the right side of the conflict.

What if you want to see Australia and Greenland at the same time? Globes have their limitations.

They will simply have their company taken away from them.

Nevertheless, they had many years before the war to start marking their news as 'Official'. Or sell the news service. They certainly could have done so. This would have solved their image problems.

Very often they say things like this: “War is certainly bad and unfair, but we have to go all the way once we have started it”. Or, “the war is unfair, but I can't be against my own country”.

There are no war supporters among people I know though, everyone has their own bubble.

Maybe you should double or triple the prices for Russian clients and send extra to Ukrainian charities or the army. As a Russian customer, I would be sympathetic to this and would be happy to support Ukraine in this way.

I presume EU customers mostly use non-EU operating systems, browsers, other software. I find it hard to believe there's a real barrier.

There is no law in Russia that prevents Apple from hosting an app called Navalny published by Roman Rubanov. The content of the app is also legal even by Russian standards: it is basically a list of officially registered candidates supported by Navalny.
