Russia is technically not at war with Ukraine as they have not officially declared it.

Funny that, since I said in my OP, I’m Canadian.

No, as you cannot use your debit card for online credit card interactions.

You can’t use a debit card to buy things off Amazon.

In Canada we have Interac E-transfer for transferring funds from our standard chequing accounts to private businesses or people we’re buying things off of. We also have “virtual credit cards” that are just a CC number with an exp date and CVV that we can use for online purchases and that money comes out of our regular back account without the need for a credit account.

Most people still have and use Credit Cards but we are far less reliant on them here. Most of them time if someone has one it’s for the perks that card gives, like cash back on purchases or points for rewards like gift cards, tools, vacations, etc.
