The U.S. has introduced new, stricter sanctions against Russia in the IT sector, leading to the exit of several major companies from the Russian market.
This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. As of September 12, several key companies and services have announced the suspension of their operations in Russia or the implementation of new restrictions for Russian users.
Among the new sanctions:
- Google has blocked registration of new accounts using Russian numbers and banned Russian bloggers from earning income through AdSense.
- Atlassian, including Jira, Trello, and Confluence, announced its complete withdrawal from the Russian market.
- Notion, a service used for organizing work and managing projects, has become unavailable in Russia.
- Miro service stops servicing Russian and Belarusian accounts.
- Microsoft has started disconnecting Russian users from its cloud services.
- Slack is exiting the Russian market, discontinuing the corporate messenger service.
- CAD and Autodesk systems have left Russia, and SAP and Oracle have left the ERP market in the country.
“The new sanctions also prohibit U.S. companies from providing IT consulting, design, support, and cloud services to legal entities in Russia. In November 2022, the Yermak-McFaul Sanctions Group first proposed IT sanctions against Russia. After lengthy consultations, we thank our partners for their decisive actions. The aggressor state must feel complete international isolation for its crimes,” stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
