JUST IN: Apple is taking 'a number' of actions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including pausing product sales in Russia, stopping exports into the country, and limiting Apple Pay there.
Apple is taking"a number" of actions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including pausing product sales in Russia, stopping exports into the country and limiting Apple Pay there, according to a statement from the tech giant on Tuesday.
"We are deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stand with all of the people who are suffering as a result of the violence," Apple said in the statement."We are supporting humanitarian efforts, providing aid for the unfolding refugee crisis, and doing all we can to support our teams in the region.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted that the tower"is situated on the territory of Babyn Yar. On September 29-30, 1941, Nazis killed over 33 thousand Jews here. 80 years later, Russian Nazis strike this same land to exterminate Ukrainians. Evil and barbaric." The U.S. believes Russian forces"have committed now more than 80% of what was their pre-staged combat power," the official added.
Russians are also approaching Mariupol in southeastern Ukraine, and while they haven't yet entered the city,"they are close enough now that they could attack Mariupol with long range fires," the official said. The U.S. official noted that they've seen"certain risk-averse behavior by the Russian military" over the last week.
