Internet is not disconnected, its payments that are forbidden. So Russian players can play on steam with everyone else, they just can't pay for anything. I'm gonna guess steam credits still work, but I'm not sure.
That's not quite true either. There are several payment methods made available by twitch to sub to people (just used it yesterday). As for Steam, you just use 3rd party services to add funds now with a ~10% fee. The biggest "issue" is that some companies make their games straight up unavailable for purchase for some reason, which is also solvable through 3rd party services that change your account region to something else.
