In Russia, all country-local Visa and MasterCard payments are processed by country-owned NSPK system https://nspk.com

So all local payments will work, but no abroad payments (and no foreign cards to pay locally in Russia). Probably, I will lost most of my cloud data and compute resources incl. VPNs. Fortunately, some providers do accept SWIFT payments.

Do the providers accept ruble? My understanding is that foreign currency transfers to outside was banned (capital control).

It is partially banned/restricted for companies only. Personal transactions do work well. However, there 12% tax on buying currencies on currency exchange for both companies and personal accounts

You can always ask to borrow someone's card who doesn't live in Russia...

[assusdan]

Yeah, that's what I will probably do. However, this doesnt sound secure, and some providers do check if card holders equals to account owner

And how do you pay them back?
