Apple Inc has halted its product sales in Russia, following the country’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a Bloomberg report.
The tech giant said that it stopped exporting products into Russia’s sales channel last week, ahead of pausing sales.
In a statement, Apple made it clear that the recent move was in response to the ongoing invasion. The iPhone maker said it will stand “with all of the people who are suffering as a result of the violence.”
The company is also removing RT News and Sputnik News applications from App Stores outside Russia.
Apart from Apple, other tech giants like Google and Meta had restricted or withdrawing services in Russia since the invasion of Ukraine which began on Feb. 24.
