Intel Suspends All Operations in Russia as PC Shipments Grind to a Halt

From PC Mag: A month after halting all chips sales to the country, Intel is now suspending all business operations in Russia.

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

The decision is significant because Intel has offices in Moscow and in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod, where the company has operated a software development center since 2000. Staff at the center works on Intel products related to self-driving cars and optimizing the architecture for the company’s chips, according to The Information.

Intel added: “We are working to support all of our employees through this difficult situation, including our 1,200 employees in Russia. We have also implemented business continuity measures to minimize disruption to our global operations.”
