Google Ads and Merchant Center help docs gained notices reaffirming the Russia advertiser pause

Notices appeared at the top of several Google Ads and Merchant Center help documents restating that Google has paused ads on its properties and networks globally for advertisers based in Russia, and that it is temporarily pausing ads from serving to users located in Russia.

Both pauses date to 2022 and the serving pause appears to have stayed in force since; what is new is the notices being added to these help documents now. One notice says Google has "also paused ads on Google properties and networks globally for advertisers based in Russia." A second says that because of the ongoing war in Ukraine, Google will be temporarily pausing ads from serving to users located in Russia.
