Google to continue working in Russia

Google will continue to work in Russia, despite the initiated bankruptcy and the closure of the office.

"Some time ago, Google suspended the vast majority of commercial operations in Russia. Today we report that the seizure of the Google Russia bank account has made it impossible for our Russian office to function, including the retention of employees and remuneration in Russia, payment for suppliers and contractors, as well as the fulfilment of other financial obligations," the Google representative told TASS.

"At the same time, we know that people in Russia rely on our services to access high-quality information, and we will continue to provide free services such as Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Android and Play to our users," he said.

Earlier, Google's Russian "daughter" announced its intention to file for bankruptcy due to inability to fulfil obligations, according to the materials on Fedresource.
