Can't send money to Russia?

[Sangie]

I keep trying to send a friend money to russia but can't and have to use Western Union. But he can send money to me. I've tried another Russian email address and it keeps saying "We're sorry, but we can't send your payment right now."

Why is this?

Paypal states that Russian government regulators are the ones who restrict and prevent such transactions. Therefore, It is not a PayPal issue.
