Apple halts product sales in Russia

The Apple Store in Russia has stopped selling products.

All Apple products on the company's Russian storefront are listed as unavailable for purchase or delivery in the country.

Apple said on Tuesday that it has removed Russian state-controlled outlets from its App Store around the world.

We have taken a number of actions in response to the invasion. Product sales in Russia have been paused. We stopped all exports into the country last week. Apple Pay has been limited. The App Store outside of Russia no longer has the news from Sputnik and RT. The traffic and live incidents in Apple Maps in Ukraine have been disabled as a precautionary measure.

The balancing act that American technology companies face during the Russian invasion of Ukraine was highlighted by Apple's announcement on Tuesday. Western credit card services were limited in Russia, making it difficult for companies to get customers to pay.

According to a message on the company's website, Nike stopped selling products in Russia.
