As far as I know most cloud services of US big tech is still functioning in Russia. Including YouTube, Gmail, advertising services etc. Facebook was blocked the Russian government not Facebook itself.

My guess is that the US authorities appreciate the data they can gather from these sources.

AWS for instance. You can't open a new account but the pre-existing ones are afaik still serviced. That may not last though.

But you can't pay for them without workarounds.

SWIFT works in Russia (for selected banks), AFAIK.
