MOSCOW, June 25. /TASS/. The removal of Russian-made apps calls into question the reliability of Apple services, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"This is not the first time Apple has removed our apps, apps of Russian origin, from the Russian segment of the App Store. This happened quite recently with Max, and there have been other instances. Naturally, this raises questions about the reliability of this service and the extent to which it can be trusted as a provider of commercial services," he told a briefing.

VK announced earlier that Apple had removed its apps from the store without explanation. The company clarified that apps already installed would continue to function on Apple devices, though users would not receive push notifications. VK also emphasized that it had never been subject to sanctions, a fact confirmed by numerous legal opinions from international and US lawyers.
