Last March and in the context of the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the American group Microsoft announced the suspension of all new sales of its products and services in Russia.
” Like the rest of the world, we are horrified, outraged and saddened by the images and reports reaching us from the war in Ukraine and condemn this unjustified, unprovoked and illegal invasion by Russia “, had declared Brad Smith.
In accordance with the sanctions decided by Western governments, the president of Microsoft had added that the group was ending many aspects of its activities in Russia.
More than 400 employees concerned
Several months after the start of the invasion of Ukraine, Microsoft has just evoked a greater withdrawal with its activities in Russia.
” Due to changes in the economic outlook and the impact on our business in Russia, we have made the decision to significantly reduce our operations in Russia. In a statement provided to Bloomberg, Microsoft stresses that it will continue to fulfill its existing contractual obligations with Russian customers, while the suspension of new sales remains in effect.
More than 400 employees in Russia are affected by this decision. ” We are working closely with affected employees to ensure they are treated with respect and have our full support during this difficult time. “
