Amazon leaves Crimea after eBay, PayPal and GoDaddy

The other day, Amazon sent out to users living in Crimea a message about the need to delete their accounts before February 13. If the user does not voluntarily do this, the company reserves the right to forcibly delete the account.

“Your AWS account has a registered billing address in the Crimea region. Because of the economic sanctions recently announced by the United States government that prohibit exporting or supplying services to the Crimea, you must remove all resources from AWS and close your AWS account at 12 am Pacific Time on Friday, February 13, 2015, ” says the letter.

It is worth noting that previously Adsense services from Google, the domain registrar and the hoster GoDaddy, as well as the eBay company stopped working in Crimea. In addition, Apple has sent a notification to its partners from the Crimea about the termination of their work in the region, and the Crimean accounts have been blocked in the Apple App Store.

One of the first companies that stopped working with the Crimea was PayPal, which also blocked user accounts. And before the beginning of 2015, in December 2014, they stopped servicing their cards for the Crimean banks Visa and MasterCard.
