Netflix previously refused to broadcast 20 Russian federal channels (their broadcasting is mandatory by law from March 1), and in early March it suspended operations in RUSSIA. The work on the original Russian projects was also temporarily stopped - the series "Loop", "Nothing Special" and others. At the end of March, Netflix removed its app from the App Store and GOOGLE Play stores in Russia; at the end of May, the site stopped working for Russian users without a VPN. Roskomnadzor reported that they did not block access to the resource.
Universal Pictures, along with other major Hollywood film studios, suspended all scheduled screenings in Russia by the beginning of March: in particular, the Bad Boys cartoon was supposed to be released on March 24, and the film ER was supposed to be released on April 7. Similar decisions were also made at Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Sony.
At the end of May, the US Treasury did not renew the license that allowed Western investors to receive debt payments on Russian sovereign bonds. Yellen had noted a few days earlier that if Moscow did not find a way to continue making these payments and went through a technical default, then this was unlikely to significantly change her position. “After all, it is already cut off from the global capital market,” the minister explained.
The absence of a license allowed the Russian Ministry of Finance to bring money to any holders of Russian international bonds denominated in US dollars, and if they are denominated in euros, then at least to American investors.
State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin then said that "the United States and its satellites" should "get used to the ruble" since Moscow would pay off the public debt in Russian currency.
