Restrictions in Russia
The store and game library open in Russia, and downloads and key activations work; however, since March 2022 the service does not accept payments with Russian cards, requiring top-ups through intermediaries, Faster Payments System (SBP) services, or a foreign bank card.

Why is Steam down for me, but working for others?

What should I do if Steam won't open?
