If you’re paying with TON, that’s most likely the issue. Telegram officially states that TON-based ads aren’t shown in Russia and Ukraine, so the problem might not be with your account.

I’d check Telegram Ads’ current country restrictions and campaign eligibility first, since this may be a platform limitation rather than an account issue. If Russia isn’t selectable, contact official support to confirm whether direct advertising there is currently available.

You need to look for agencies that offer accounts specifically for these countries. Local agents.
