Google removed them from its catalog following sanctions imposed on Mir payment system operator NSPK.
However, you can still download the necessary applications from alternative sources. Android smartphone owners can download them from RuStore and Huawei AppGallery, as well as third-party APK file catalog sites such as w3bsit3-dns.com.
