Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

[Suppressed Poet]

The cards will still work within Russia, The big issue is the Russians that are abroad, and the foreigners still in Russia.

From my time in Russia, The biggest difference between Russians and the west is, they are just content with just whatever they have, if shit gets bad, they will literally just say, well we got food, we got water, we have a house, we’re fine.

No they will not work in Russia. I’m telling you, I’ve been on calls with Visa and they are not going to authorize anywhere beginning March 10, 12:01AM Moscow (March 9th 4:01 PM EST). Effective Friday 2PM Moscow time, Visa will be blocking all settlements and chargebacks of Russian issued cards will be blocked.

Shits about to get real in Russia.

We’re scrambling to speak with top clients today to give them the talking points. If they authorize Russian cards today they are in jeopardy of not getting paid as the settlement switch off happens Friday.
