Russian subscribers have lost access to the streaming platform Netflix, the latest case of a Western company leaving Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine.
The Netflix website has been unavailable since Friday, and a company spokesperson confirmed that subscribers no longer have access to the service.
“This is the culmination of the withdrawal from the Russian market,” the spokesperson told AFP.
The American giant announced that Russia was withdrawing in early March after the country sent troops to Ukraine.
The spokesperson explained that the company is waiting until the end of the billing period to ensure the end of service to its customers.
Netflix is the world’s leading streaming platform with 221.8 million subscribers at the end of 2021, but its presence in Russia was small.
In an April letter to shareholders, the company said it would lose nearly 700,000 subscribers after withdrawing from Russia, describing the situation as the company’s first global subscriber decline in a decade.
