To stop Russia from invading, Ukraine is seeking help in all possible ways. One recent among them is asking Apple to stop its services in Russia.
This comes from the Ukranian Deputy Prime Minister, who sent a letter to Apple’s CEO asking the US company to stop Russians’ access to Appstore, and sales in Russia . A day before, Tim Cook said he’s deeply concerned about the Ukranian situation.
Ukraine Asks Apple to Dump Russia
As we enter the third day of the Ukraine vs Russia war , Ukraine is pooling as much as help it needs. We’ve seen the country asking help from eligible hackers to serve the cyber needs of the nation amid ongoing crisis, and asking western nations to respond immediately.
Though the US announced economic sanctions against Russia from its side, that doesn’t seem to work. As Russia continues to penetrate and destroy Ukraine every day, the Ukranian Deputy Prime Minister is now asking the US company – Apple to respond with a ban in its favor.
I’ve contacted @tim_cook , Apple’s CEO, to block the Apple Store for citizens of the Russian Federation, and to support the package of US government sanctions!
