Dell stops all Russian operations after closure of offices

Dell Technologies had ceased all Russian operations after closing its offices in mid-August, the latest in a growing list of Western firms to exit Russia. The company has joined others in curtailing operations since Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb 4. It was a vital supplier of servers in Russia.

 

Dell suspended sales in Ukraine and Russia in February, saying it would monitor the situation to determine next steps.

 

Dell spokesperson Mike Siemienas said, "In mid-August, we closed our offices and ceased all Russian operations. Back in February, we made the decision to not sell, service or support products in Russia, Belarus and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, in addition to the already embargoed Crimea."

 

Russia annexed the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and recognised self-styled, breakaway republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of east Ukraine in February, moves condemned by Ukraine and Western nations, which have imposed sanctions on Russia.

 

Russia's industry ministry said many of the researchers and engineers working for Dell in Russia had already been offered new jobs, after media reports said the company was making a full exit.
