I can't log into my EA account without a VPN. I live in Zaporizhzhia.

Good afternoon, my name is Nikolai, I'm from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. This morning I accessed the EA app without any problems, but this evening it showed an error about service limitations. I gave my friend my account details, and he's from Lviv, and he accessed it without any problems. I decided to try a VPN and was able to launch the app. Could you tell me why this happened? I can't access the app without a VPN anymore.

Same! I'm from Zp too and i have same problem

Also from zp, same problem, i can open EA app only with vpn.
We are not ocuppied, check ur maps, EA.

Same problem, maybe they mistakenly thought that we were already an occupied region, but that's not the case.

Well, i cant buy anything on PS5 without mobile Ip or vpn - like half a year already, so i think they wouldnt change something 

У меня даже с впн на пк не работает 

I have the same problem. I was playing Apex Legends without any problems until this error popped up.

    Same issue started from today. Dear Electronic Arts, the city of Zaporizhzhya is the territory of Ukraine and is subject to the laws and Сonstitution of Ukraine. Our town was never and hopefully will never be occupied. The restrictions applied to sanctioned regions should NOT be extended to the territory controlled by Ukraine.
    On behalf of all players affected by this problem, i am asking you to make up the solution to this situation. 

Я теж із Запоріжжя і також з вчора (9 жовтня) не можу грати в ігри EA. Я впевнений що перед виходом нової батли вони пішли оновляти свої правила, дійшли до лімітів раши, побачили що вони 'розширились' і забанили цілу нашу область. EA, Запоріжжя не окуповане тож поверніть нам доступ до ігор 

I'm also from Zaporizhzhya and since yesterday (October 9) I can't play EA games. I'm sure that before the new Battlefield 6 was released they decided to update their rules, reached the Russia limits, saw that they had 'expanded' and banned our entire region. EA, Zaporizhzhia is not occupied so give us back access to the games
