 Because, very sadly, the US government sanctions prevent it.

It hits people like you who don't deserve to be affected, but if Upwork, as a US corporation, wants to be able to stay in business it has to abide by US laws.

No US company will be able to do business with you due to those sanctions, but there are freelancing platforms which are not US based.

I wish you all the very best of luck and personally I am disgusted that policies affect the innocents while the guilty, more often than not, go free.
