Trying to search up but they dont forbid Russians so its not true basing on what he had said.
Russian users of Bittrex started to get worried because of how Bittrex's new TOS addition focused on excluding countries that have been embargoed by the US. They probably thought that Russia as a whole would make it to that list too, but it has not. It is just the Crimea that is on their ban list. If you search for Crimea you'll see it pop up.
As for the 'international' sub domain of Bittrex, that is only for non US users. US users will remain on the regular Bittrex part of the platform. There are differences in token accessibility where international users can trade them, but US users not.

more embargoes via other countries. OP hasnt even verified he's not in Crimea?
Or possibly its illegal for him in his jurisdiction and nowhere else.
