Putin's cronies, like RT editor in chief Margarita Simonyan, will still be able to use their @Visa and @Mastercard and access their funds, but the journalists of TVRain who fled bc they were threatened with 15 yr jail sentences for telling the truth *won't* be able to. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the thing about @Visa and @Mastercard leaving Russia: it only affects Visa/Mastercard transactions on cards from Russian banks *outside* Russia. These cards continue to work *in* Russia. This punishes Russians who fled the country, i.e., those who oppose Putin and the war. — PolitiTweet.org

@Visa and @Mastercard what are you doing to solve this problem? Will you allow Putin's critics to access their own money so they can survive abroad, in safety, or will you continue to punish them while enabling people inside Russia? — PolitiTweet.org
