Based on the information now available to us, it is apparent that Yandex is a sanctioned entity. Unfortunately, this means we are under an obligation to suspend deliveries with immediate effect.

Please note that at this stage, based on the advice we have received we do not believe that we are required to take down content previously delivered to Yandex. However, this point is under review and we will update our labels should the position change. 

We appreciate that you may have further questions in regards to royalty payments, however, no more information is available at this time. Please rest assured that we are working closely with our partners and representatives to protect our labels’ interests.
