Payment firms Mastercard and Visa on Saturday said they were suspending operations in Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. The move will prevent their cards issued by Russian banks from working in other countries and block people with cards issued elsewhere from purchasing goods and services from companies in Russia. However, other transactions may still go through, The New York Times reported.
