VK and all of its services have been hit by sanctions. As expected, Google and Apple removed everything, affecting both the Max messenger and the video hosting platform.

But I don't feel sorry for VK. They brought this on themselves. They should have built a protocol from the start, not a platform. Not a system with a single point of failure, but an open set of interoperable building blocks. Instead, they followed the classic Chinese approach, unwilling to acknowledge that their country has neither technological nor digital sovereignty.
