Visa and Mastercard suspend operations in Russia
Visa和万事达卡暂停在俄罗斯的业务
Payment networks Visa and Mastercard have said they would suspend operations in Russia, dealing a new blow to the country’s financial system after its invasion of Ukraine.
支付网络Visa和万事达卡(Mastercard)均表示将暂停在俄罗斯的业务。在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后,此举给俄罗斯金融体系带来新的打击。
The decision followed a request by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday and threatens to further isolate a Russian economy facing crippling financial sanctions and a string of corporate boycotts.
该决定是在乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔•泽连斯基(Volodymyr Zelensky)上周六提出要求后做出的,可能进一步孤立本已面临严厉金融制裁和一系列企业抵制的俄罗斯经济。
