Microsoft will reduce its business in Russia until there is nothing left of it

Microsoft Corporation intends to continue reducing its business in Russia until there is nothing left of it. About it in an interview Washington Post said Microsoft President Brad Smith. At the same time, the company plans to provide support to employees of the Russian division and, probably, will offer some to relocate to other countries.

“In Russia, we see how our business there is shrinking, shrinking, shrinking … and, apparently, will continue to shrink until there is almost nothing and nothing left of it,” Brad Smith said in an interview.

Recall that recently, users from Russia and the Republic of Belarus cannot download official ISO images of Windows 10 and Windows 11 from the Microsoft website, use the Media Creation Tool, or receive builds through the Windows Insider program. Now all these restrictions can be bypassed with a VPN. Microsoft has not made any statements about this.
