The company announced Friday that it is suspending shipments to Russia.

A source told us that the move cuts off Russia because it includes products such as chips to smartphones and consumer electronics.

The company is making donations to humanitarian efforts. We are donating $6 million, including $1 million in consumer electronics products, as well as voluntary donations from our employees.

Following the invasion of Ukraine, tech vendors are preventing new sales of their products in Russia. We heard last time that the company would have been able to ship technology to Russia despite some export restrictions, but perhaps it stopped shipments.

All new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia have been suspended by Microsoft.

Tech platforms have taken other action as well, such as banning links to Russian state-sponsored media and suspending ad sales in Russia. Russia has blocked Facebook in the country.
