The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions relating to the issuing and use of Visa and Mastercard credit cards is a matter for Visa and Mastercard, not the UK Government or Parliament.
In any case, you might be interested to know that Visa and Mastercard have announced they have blocked certain Russian institutions from using their network. You can find out more about this here: www.reuters.com/business/mastercard-blocks-multiple-russian-financial-institutions-network-2022-03-01/
