Payment for Spotify from Russia

What is Spotify?
Spotify is an international music streaming service. The platform allows users to listen to millions of tracks, create their own playlists, and download music for offline access.
The free version includes ads and limitations. A Spotify subscription unlocks additional features:
ad-free listening;
track downloads;
improved sound quality;
ability to skip tracks without limits.
Spotify pricing plans differ by account type: individual, family, and student. The cost depends on the region and billing period (usually monthly).
Registration is completed via email or a Google account. The user creates an account, logs into the dashboard, chooses a paid plan, and adds payment details. The application can be downloaded on PC and smartphone. The interface is available in Russian, and the service can be used without a VPN.
The main difficulty for users from Russia is specifically paying for Spotify.
