TL;DR
A RSHB (Russian Agricultural Bank) UnionPay card can withdraw cash from ATMs showing the UnionPay logo, but not all machines accept it, so don't rely on it as your only card. Online payments (e.g. on Lazada) have started failing for some users.
By late July, some travelers reported that payments with a RSHB UnionPay card on Lazada stopped going through, and re-linking the card also failed, even though it had worked before.
No exact ATM withdrawal fee for the RSHB UnionPay card was confirmed — check the fee displayed on screen before confirming the withdrawal.
The RSHB UnionPay card generally works both for payments and ATM cash withdrawals at machines showing the UnionPay logo, but it's not accepted everywhere, so it's worth having a backup payment method.
