It's not. Part of Russia is in Europe. The geographical limit between Europe and Asia is not well defined.

It Is fair to say that "Europe" is a proxy for "European Union", like "America" is usually understood as "United States of America", without any precise geographic connotation.

Their service operates in the European Economic Area, which includes more countries than the EU and is therefore closer to the European geographic surface.
