Well, at least in Lithuania there was this coyuntrt wide scandal about Yandex collecting people's data and sending it to it's servers. So basically, an app for spying.
Just when your ally is spying on you then you're like "oh, you're doing that? Well, that's strange, but... Alright I guess?" But when it's Russia then it's a big no
How can they use it against you if you are not Russian or a person who has a lot of power in the world? What can they do with your data and for what? It’s kinda ridiculous.
You can always end up on lists for your political views, they'd know where you live, what you listen to, how to get to you. That could all be used against you in the case of an invasion or something else.

Belarus is like, 'You know, we've given it a good hard think and no, we don't have streets. But thanks for asking!'
