Multiple Ozon Apps Removed from Google Play Following Sanctions on Ozon Bank

Several Ozon applications have been removed from the Google Play store, affecting Android users who can no longer download the main Ozon client along with Ozon Fresh, Ozon Seller, Ozon Job and Ozon Travel. Ozon stated that the company did not violate Google Play rules, yet the exact reasons for the removals remain undisclosed. The action follows the earlier disappearance of the Ozon Bank app after the bank was placed under European Union sanctions, although no official connection has been confirmed. Apple users continue to access Ozon services through the App Store, while Android users are directed to alternative stores including RuStore, AppGallery and Galaxy Store. The company also warned against downloading APK files from unverified sources due to security risks. The removals come amid a broader wave of app store purges that also affected Yandex Pay on the App Store. Already installed applications generally continue to function, but users may face difficulties with future updates and reinstalls.

Several Android applications from Ozon have disappeared from Google Play, leaving users without access to the main marketplace client and related services through the official store.

The removed apps include Ozon Fresh, Ozon Seller, Ozon Job and Ozon Travel. Ozon confirmed that it had not breached Google Play policies, but the company has not disclosed the precise reasons behind the decision.

Owners of Android devices are now advised to obtain the applications from alternative official stores such as RuStore, AppGallery and Galaxy Store. Searching for APK files on random websites is strongly discouraged due to potential security threats.

The removals follow the earlier disappearance of the Ozon Bank application from Google Play after the bank was targeted by European Union sanctions. No official link between the sanctions and the broader app removals has been established so far.

Meanwhile, Apple users can still download Ozon applications via the App Store. The recent purge also affected the payment service Yandex Pay, which was removed from the App Store.

Already installed applications typically remain operational, yet users may encounter problems with updates and reinstallation after removal from the store. Ozon services continue to be available through other app stores and the web version.

Russian Minister Proposes Blocking All SIM Cards Linked to Fraudsters Banned in MAX Messenger

The head of Russia's Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadaev, has suggested extending account bans in the MAX messenger to a broader set of mobile restrictions. Under the proposal, operators would be required to disconnect not only the number used in a fraudulent account but also any other SIM cards belonging to the same individual. The measure would also introduce a cooling-off period preventing the person from registering new numbers after a ban. Officials aim to make it significantly harder for scammers to resume operations following enforcement actions. Key implementation details, including how ownership and involvement in fraud will be verified, remain unspecified in the initial statement. The initiative specifically targets fraud prevention and does not apply to every account suspension in the messenger.

Russia Ready to Disclose Source Code of Social Networks, Messengers and AI Models

Russian Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadaev announced that the country is prepared to open the source code of its domestic social networks, messengers, and video services to international partners. Shadaev stated that Russia will show the internal structure of these platforms and allow joint modification of algorithms. The proposal was presented at the Platform of Sovereign Development exhibition and reported by TASS. He contrasted Western IT products, described as opaque black boxes, with Russia's new approach of transparency to avoid what he called digital colonialism. The same offer extends to Russian foundational AI models, which could be adapted to foreign legislation, cultural requirements, and security standards. No specific products, repository links, timelines, or licensing terms were provided during the speech.

Russia Mulls Mandatory Two-Week IMEI Registration for Foreign Smartphones via Gosuslugi

Russian authorities are discussing a new rule requiring owners of smartphones imported without customs clearance or purchased abroad to register the devices through the Gosuslugi portal within two weeks. Failure to register would result in the device being blocked from Russian mobile networks. The Ministry of Digital Development is preparing the requirements, which remain under discussion with possible changes to timelines and details. Devices already operating in Russia before April 2027 would be exempt and continue working without restrictions. Officially imported equipment would be added to the registry automatically. The measure is expected to significantly impact gray-market sellers, potentially forcing up to 70 percent of them out of the market and driving price increases of up to 40 percent for some models.
