Earlier in March, Microsoft said it was suspending new sales of its products and services in Russia.

The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

More than 400 employees will be affected, the report said, citing a company spokesperson.

Several major companies, including Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Nike (NYSE:NKE) and Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL), have severed connections with Russia.

Facebook-owner Meta Platforms Inc and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc’s Google have also taken measures to restrict Russian state media from making money off ads on their platforms.
