Apple (AAPL) has stopped selling all of its products in Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine, the company announced Tuesday.

The company said in a statement that it is "deeply concerned" about the Russian invasion and that in response, it has "paused all product sales" in the country. Apple also said it has moved to limit access to digital services, such as Apple Pay, inside Russia, and restricted the availability of Russian state media applications outside the country.

"Last week, we stopped all exports into our sales channel in the country. Apple Pay and other services have been limited. RT News and Sputnik News are no longer available for from the App Store outside Russia," Apple said. "And we have disabled both traffic and live incidents in Apple Maps in Ukraine as a safety and precautionary measure for Ukrainian citizens."

Apple's decision comes as tech companies have faced increasing public pressure to act against Russia. The Ukrainian government last week had asked Apple to stop offering its app store in Russia, but some security and democracy experts said that that could harm Russian s who are protesting the Kremlin and who rely on Western tools to organize.

Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have all begun cracking down on content shared by Russian media amid intensifying pressure from European officials to act against pro-Russian propaganda. Netflix also said it is refusing to air Russian state TV channels in the country.

.....Nigeria bans loot from embezzlement to Russia!

All these real and imaginary sanctions can only anger Putin the more.

Only buhari can handle Putin!

Does Russia own Apple? If they must use apple products, they probably have enough in circulation already.

And it's even a good opportunity for second hand dealers to sell peer-2-peer.

Apples sales too will drop, no be only Russia go suffer

Who is sanctioning who? Who will feel the pain the most? Certainly not the buyer.

Cancel culture has been imported into international politics by " woke liberals" zombies ...this weaponizing of American commercial products will do America no good in the long term , after this crisis is over watch how countries start to come up with plans to dump American tech ecosystems for home grown ones like the Chinese

I've yet to see one popular Russian product Putin ers enjoy...

Most hating on the USA are probably typing their comments with Apple products or HP computers..

If it's not hypocrisy then it's stupidity

Who deh lose? Apple...

Case closed.

Those shouting "Who dey lose" are displaying their ignorance.
Everything is not about profit. Putin will be brought down to his knees.

Breaking News..........

In light of the current bellicose and despotic character of Vladimir Putin, I have imposed a total ban on Emu Oguro (Palm Wine) from being exported to Russia from Ogbagi-Akoko, Ondo state.

We have imposed that Emu Oguro Ogbagi sanction on Russia till further notice.

Nice development.

Mtchwww, this world is currently over run by stupid people

Putin don take Russia many years backwards, at the end of everything, it will be a third world country.

If you are a murderous psychopath, "getting cancelled" should be the least of your worries.

After this war many countries will start dumping US products and start producing theirs.

One of the main reason the sanctions cannot really be effective.

Russia supplies substantial part of energy need of Europe.

Even before the war.....na manage dem dey oooo........to be sincere with you, somalia better that country.

China is doing well without the West. Same with Iran and North Korea. It is time for Russia to do the same.
India can also do the same. As for African nations, we are dependencies till tomorrow.

With the amount of oil reserves Russia has its the world that will suffer. Unless everyone shifts to electrical cars we can expect a world fuel deficit.

It Is OK … crackberry suits the manic Putin better

Okay
