Microsoft Suspends Sales Of Products In Russia

Ukraine asked and pleaded, and it’s heard wide.

Microsoft president and vice chair Brad Smith announced that Microsoft will no longer do business in the nation while it continues to invade Ukraine.

“Like the rest of the world, we are horrified, angered and saddened by the images and news coming from the war in Ukraine and condemn this unjustified, unprovoked and unlawful invasion by Russia.

We are announcing today that we will suspend all new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia.

In addition, we are coordinating closely and working in lockstep with the governments of the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and we are stopping many aspects of our business in Russia in compliance with governmental sanctions decisions.

We believe we are most effective in aiding Ukraine when we take concrete steps in coordination with the decisions being made by these governments and we will take additional steps as this situation continues to evolve.”

Microsoft’s move is the latest in a series of tech and game-making companies taking a stand in the Russia vs Ukraine war.
