Zara and Samsung join Paypal to cease operations in Russia over Ukraine conflict




Zara, Paypal and Samsung are the latest international companies to shut down operations in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.

Clothing retailer Inditex will close all 502 stores of its eight brands, including Bershka, Stradivarius and Oysho, starting today.

Payments giant Paypal cited “a violent military attack on Ukraine” as the reason for suspending its services.

Samsung, Russia’s leading smartphone supplier, is suspending shipments due to “geopolitical developments”.

Other global brands including Apple, H&M and Ikea have already stopped selling in Russia.

Clothing store closures are expected to affect more than 9,000 Inditex employees working in Russia.
