Top-up of Xbox with code from the P2D catalog

Why a Russian card is declined
Microsoft Store does not accept cards from Russian banks. Since 2022, Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks do not work abroad, and Microsoft does not accept Mir, so the payment is rejected.
Gift cards Xbox from the P2D catalog and the P2D dollar card do not depend on Russian banks, therefore they are suitable for payment.
Paying for Xbox with a P2D card
