(Reuters) - Russia's top consumer electronics chain M.Video-Eldorado has begun sales of Apple's brand-new Vision Pro headset in its stores, despite Apple halting exports of its products to Russia nearly two years ago.

Apple officially released the device on Feb. 2 in the United States. M.Video did not say how it managed to obtain the devices in Russia.
