Google has announced a new pause on ads for Russian advertisers and serving ads to users in Russia. This update comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The notice was added to the help documentation for Google Ads and Google Merchant Center.
Google confirmed that ads on their properties and networks globally are now paused for advertisers based in Russia. Additionally, Google ads will no longer serve to users located in Russia due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Previously, ads to users in Russia were paused in 2022.
