After the escalation on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, several countries and corporations enacted sanctions and blocked goods as well as services completely. After Microsoft and Apple, Samsung is also stopping its products from entering Russia.
According to some reports, Samsung is ceasing the shipments of phones and chips to Russia. It is a big decision taken by Samsung as they manufacture 34% of the phones in Russia ahead of other rivals like Apple, Xiaomi and Realme etc. The move from Samsung came just days after Apple announced that it will stop all the sales in the country in reply to Russia invasion in Ukraine. Microsoft also followed the suit earlier on Friday by announcing that they are freezing the products and services in Russia. Google on the other hand has restricted the map data by disabling the live traffic reports and user-submitted data.
