Press Release
Intel is one of the latest tech giants to follow imposed sanctions on Russia as the company suspends all shipments to customers in Russia and Belarus. The United States and many European countries have expressed their support for Ukraine by imposing sanctions and withdrawal of support. MSC, Maersk, and CMA, three of the world’s biggest container lines, suspended cargo shipments to and from Russia announced earlier this month. Either way, shipping Intel chips and other imports to Russia will be affected by the ongoing conflict and withdrawal of support and services from different companies globally.
Intel issued the following statement on the war in Ukraine:
“Intel condemns the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and we have suspended all shipments to customers in both Russia and Belarus. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been impacted by this war, including the people of Ukraine and the surrounding countries and all those around the world with family, friends, and loved ones in the region.
“We are working to support all of our employees through this difficult situation, especially those with close ties to this region. We have launched an employee donation and matching campaign through the Intel Foundation that has already raised over $1.2 million for relief efforts, and we are proud of the work our teams in surrounding areas including Poland, Germany and Romania are doing to aid refugees. We will continue to stand with the people of Ukraine and the global community in calling for an immediate end to this war and a swift return to peace.”
