  "account": "Five apps belonging to the Russian e-commerce powerhouse Ozon have vanished from Google Play, Android's digital market. The affected applications are Ozon, Ozon Fresh, Ozon Seller, Ozon Job, and Ozon Travel. It remains unclear as to why these digital offerings were removed. The Ozon Bank app had previously met the same fate on Google Play. The financial institution is currently subject to European Union sanctions. Presently, the aforementioned apps can still be obtained for download via Apple's App Store and Huawei's AppGallery, according to TV Rain, an independent Russian broadcasting outlet.
