HP and Upwork decided to leave Russia and Belarus altogether

-

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), which specializes in servers, supercomputers, storage systems, and other server hardware, has announced plans to completely close its business in Russia and Belarus. The relevant message was published on the company’s website. “Following the suspension of supplies and sales in Russia and Belarus in late February, HPE closely monitored the situation. It is more impractical for us to continue our activities in Russia and Belarus, and we are starting to systematically close our business in these countries. We strive for transparency in communicating with our team members, customers, and partners who are affected as we close our business in these two countries,” HPE said in a statement.

In March of 2020 HPE announced the suspension of sales of its products in Russia. Thus, one of the world leaders in the supply of computers and servers supported the Western sanctions imposed by many countries after the invasion of Ukraine started in late February.
