Computer chip manufacturer Intel will stop all shipments to customers in Russia and Belarus.
“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.” the company said in a news release on Thursday.
Intel added that it is working with employees who have ties to the region and have launched a fundraising campaign that has already raised $1.2m (£900,000) for Ukrainians in need.
“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,” the California-based company added.
It follows similar moves by other global computer chip manufacturers.
Russia does not produce large quantities of electronics, in part due to a lack of highest-end semiconductors needed for advanced computing.
