Intel has stopped all business operations in Russia a month after stopping shipments to customers there.

In a statement, the company said, "Intel continues to join the global community in condemning Russia's war against Ukraine and calling for a swift return to peace."

Apple halted product sales in Russia after the Ukraine invasion, as well as other tech companies. A new law in Russia that restricts free speech has led to the suspension of services in the country.

The war in Russia is having an impact on the country's tech workers, with many choosing to leave the country after war was declared, and others unable to receive payments after Russia was disconnected by the international payment network, according to Vadim Smyslov. Others crossing the Russian border were being questioned.
