Microsoft stops selling products in Russia

Microsoft has stopped selling its products and services in Russia, following the country's invasion of Ukraine.

Microsoft said it had paused other aspects of its business in the country to comply with government sanctions.

It added that it was providing cyber-security support to Ukraine to defend against cyber-attacks initiated by Russia.

"Since the war began, we have acted against Russian positioning, destructive or disruptive measures against more than 20 Ukrainian government, IT and financial sector organisations," Microsoft president Brad Smith said in a statement.
