Wed 06 April 2022:
Intel Corp, a US chipmaker, announced on Tuesday that it has halted business operations in Russia, joining a slew of other corporations that have left the country in the aftermath of its invasion of Ukraine.
The company, which had suspended shipments to customers in Russia and Belarus last month, said it has implemented business continuity measures to minimize disruption to its global operations.
“Intel continues to join the global community in condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine and calling for a swift return to peace,” the company said.
International Business Machines Corp earlier suspended shipments as Ukraine urged US cloud-computing and software companies to cut ties with Russia.
Servers from IBM, Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co top the market in Russia, where companies and government agencies have relied on technology developed by the West as the basis for their owned-and-operated IT systems.
Other tech companies that have taken action in Russia include Apple, which halted product sales after the Ukraine invasion, AMD, Adobe and General Electric. Meanwhile, Spotify, along with news outlets like CNN, ABC and the BBC have suspended services in Russia in response to a new law that dramatically restricts free speech.
