Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine is a burning issue at present. Samsung has backed many of the other tech giants in criticizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In response to this Invasion, Samsung stops product shipments to Russia.
Samsung was the largest mobile device provider in Russia last year, with roughly 26.6 percent of the market, near heeded by Apple.
According to Bloomberg, after Russia invades Ukraine, Samsung has declared that it will stop product shipments.
According to Reuters, “We continue to monitor this complex situation to determine our next steps actively,” the business said in a statement given to media outlets.
Mykhailo Fedorov Tweet
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s vice prime minister, wrote a letter to Samsung to vice-chairman Han Jong-hee on March 4th., requesting the business temporarily suspend services and product deliveries to Russia.
“We believe that such actions will motivate the youth and active population of Russia to proactively stop the disgraceful military aggression,” Fedorov said in the letter, which he shared on Twitter.
It feels right that Ukraine has decided to take help from tech companies that dominate the world. Nevertheless, Russia and Russian citizens may indeed be affected internally by a lack of proper tech in their nation.
“Modern technology is perhaps the best answer to the tanks, multiple rocket launchers, and missiles targeting residential neighborhoods, kindergartens, and hospitals,” he added, pleading for help.
He concluded: “Stay with Ukraine and save millions of innocent lives!”
Apple and Microsoft said that new product and service sales in Russia would be prohibited in opposition to the invasion of Ukraine. These actions from two big tech giants have been a significant step and might be one of the most thoughtful steps to stop this war.
According to the report, the company is also contributing $6 million to humanitarian assistance in Ukraine, including $1 million in consumer electronics items.
