I don't think Google is particularly moral, but I do not believe they make any money now in Russia. So you are incorrect in your main thesis. YouTube monetisation was disabled a long time ago and Google was fined for some crazy amount for some imaginary offences. I don't think they sell any services now in Russia.

You don't think Google has made any money off of Russians from YouTube since the war started?

Is there a way to verify that claim?

Because I'm pretty sure I'm still watching YouTubers based in Russia, and I would imagine ads play on their videos (I'm not going to bother turning off my Adblock to check)

Does the link you provided state that Google doesn't run ads on Russian produced content?
