To top up from DNR, LNR, or Crimea, you need to change your connection geolocation and enable airplane mode on your phone with Steam Guard. Do not turn them off until the funds are credited — this may take some time, just wait.

If you top up an account that has not had any financial transactions before, its region may change to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, or another similar region, and the currency to CIS $ (or others).

To avoid this and keep the region (country) from which you log in to your account, follow these instructions:

1. Log in to Steam in a browser or program.

2. Add at least two free games to your account. For example, PUBG and Dota 2. We recommend adding games using the Steam library in the smartphone app.

3. Play at least 2-3 hours in the added game.

4. Don't forget to turn off VPN. Getting free games on Steam should happen in your home region.

PROFIT. Your account, even after the first top-up, will have the currency of your home region, which means all game prices will be displayed as for your home region. (this method is not a 100% guarantee and in some cases may still not work. For the first top-up, we recommend trying to top up the balance with the minimum amount)

P.S: Using this method for Russia, you also get regional restrictions associated with RF accounts. Some games from the Steam library will be unavailable for purchase in this region.
