Apple removed several popular VPN clients from the Russian App Store: Streisand, V2Box, v2RayTun, and one version of Happ. This was reported by the outlets Kod Durova and Rozetked.
As journalists note, apps that have already been installed will continue to work, but they will stop receiving updates. In other regions, VPN services remain available.
The developers of v2RayTun published a letter from Apple stating that the apps were removed at the request of Roskomnadzor because of “illegal in Russia content.”

Apple had previously repeatedly complied with requests from the Russian authorities to remove VPN services and other “banned” applications.
