LONDON: Apple has removed 25 virtual private network (VPN) applications from its App Store in Russia, the Interfax news agency said on Thursday, as Moscow cracks down on services that help people circumvent online restrictions.

A Russian lawmaker said earlier that Apple had deleted Red Shield VPN, Le VPN, Proton VPN and NordVPN in compliance with orders from communications regulator Roskomnadzor.
