SANTA CLARA, CA/USA – MARCH 1, 2014: Intel Sign at Corporate Headquarters. Intel is a multinational corporation and inventor of the x86 microprocessor, the processors found in most personal computers.
Intel has announced the suspension of all operations in Russia. More than a month after the outbreak of the war, Intel therefore decides to adapt even more fully to the international sanctions against Russia. In recent weeks, the company had already stopped shipments of its products to the Russian market. Here are the details regarding Intel’s stance announced in these hours.
Intel ceases its operations in Russia indefinitely
Intel’s choice came in these hours. The company announced that will stop operations on the Russian market, confirming his condemnation of war in Ukraine and hoping for a speedy return to peace. Intel also confirmed that it will continue to support over 1,200 employees in Russia even if it is not clear what the modalities of this support will be. At the same time, moreover, the necessary countermeasures will be taken to minimize the impact on the business linked to the blocking of operations in Russia.
An indefinite stop
The activities of the Russian division of Intel are suspended and will continue to be stopped indefinitely, probably even beyond a desirable peace. Intel products have long since no longer been shipped within the Russian market as well as in Belarus. For the moment, there is no room for a return to normal. Intel, as well as other international tech companies, intends to sever all relations with the Russian market. We will see what the developments will be.
