Samsung stops shipments to Russia
Although it must deal with this cyberattack, in the international context Samsung announced the suspension of shipments of its products to Russia, “due to current geopolitical developments. We continue to actively monitor this complex situation to determine our next steps,” the company said in a statement Friday.
It is worth mentioning that the decision does not only involve smartphones, since the shipment of other products, such as chips and consumer electronics, was also suspended, so with this measure Russia is excluded from one of the largest technology providers in the world. .
The South Korean also said they are donating to humanitarian efforts following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “We are donating $6 million, including $1 million in consumer electronics, as well as voluntary donations from our employees,” the company said.
Other technology companies that decided to stop their sales in Russia were Apple, Microsoft, the developer of the FIFA video game, Electronic Arts, and Google, which stopped the sale of advertising in that country, among other companies.
