But starting November 20, Russians will face a new unpleasant surprise. From now on, on Binance you can neither buy nor sell cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), Arbitrum (ARB), Arkham (ARKM), ARPA, BNB, BUSD, Polkadot (DOT), Ethereum (ETH) for rubles ), Litecoin (LTC), Polygon (MATIC), NEAR, Solana (SOL), Worldcoin (WLD) and XRP.

Binance representatives explained this decision “to protect users and support high-quality trading.”

There's a contradiction here. So basically Binance left Russia, but Russian citizens can still open accounts and trade on the platform?
I thought that "leaving Russia" means banning the Russian citizens from using Binance completely.
Forbidding the Russians from buying and selling several altcoins doesn't seem like a real punishment to me.
I didn't understand the news about Youtube, Telegram and Whatsapp being banned in Russia. This seems like fake news to me.
Telegram is a Russian platform and even the pro-Putin supporters and organizations are actively using it.
Telegram being banned in Russia doesn't make any sense at all.

Well.. I am not sure how this is interpreted as "punishing" the citizens of Russia. Unless Binance is going to seize crypto-holdings of their Russian users, I will not translate this move as any sort of "punishment". First of all, the Russian government is not very positive about the role of crypto-currency (especially since the local currency got devalued by 2-3x during the last decade or so). And secondly, there are enough local crypto-exchanges in Russia itself and the users can just migrate to any of these platforms from Binance.

In September, Binance announced a complete exit from Russia and the sale of its business in this country to the CommEX crypto exchange. The decision to leave the Russian Federation was made against the background of international pressure in connection with the full-scale aggression of the Russian army towards Ukraine.

But starting November 20, Russians will face a new unpleasant surprise. From now on, on Binance you can neither buy nor sell cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), Arbitrum (ARB), Arkham (ARKM), ARPA, BNB, BUSD, Polkadot (DOT), Ethereum (ETH) for rubles ), Litecoin (LTC), Polygon (MATIC), NEAR, Solana (SOL), Worldcoin (WLD) and XRP.

In Russia itself, they are going to turn off YouTube, Telegram and WhatsApp for citizens. Little by little, Russians are being isolated from the outside world for aggression, and their government is being isolated in order to hide the truth from its citizens.
