The office that Apple opened in Russia is part of a policy that demands the operation of physical offices from all foreign technology companies.
This incident is a great example to understand the day to day in which a war conflict has broken out between Russia and Ukraine.
Apple is the most valuable technology brand in this industry.
In a historical fact, Russia has begun military operations in Ukraineas part of a geopolitical phenomenon in which countries like the United States, have taken center stage for their positions on the matter, also for their companies that operate in the European country, such as Apple, which recently opened offices and the nation that Vladimir Putin commands, received it with a war.
The story goes back to early February when Apple decided to open an office in Moscow, Russia, but instead of fireworks, the representative office has celebrated the start of operations by seeing artillery pass to advance in Ukraine.
All this is due, let us remember, to the fact that Russia ordered technology companies to have physical offices in their country, and not just stores or customer service in this format. Apple was the first to be motivated to do so.
The information reported based on a report by the Tass agency, is that of all the foreign technology companies operating in Russia, Apple was the applied and first to comply with the federal mandate and there is only record that the second that planned to open its offices was Spotify.
This policy against technology companies to have physical offices in Russia considered sanctions against companies that refused to do so, such as operational restrictions.
Of the companies listed by the Russian government to open offices are Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Telegram (by the way, in a quick comparison of which social networks are the most searched on Google within Russia, Instagram is the platform most popular, while Tiktok is the least in demand.
