Dell withdraws from Russia following August office closure

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

Dell spokesperson Mike Siemienas told Reuters: "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." Picture: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

Dell Technologies said on Saturday it 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 U.S. computer firm, a vital supplier of servers in Russia, has joined others in curtailing operations since Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
