New York: Netflix and TikTok suspended most of their services in Russia on Sunday.


This move comes after a growing number of multinational businesses have cut off Russia from vital financial services, technology and a variety of consumer products in response to Western economic sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine.


US credit card companies Visa, Mastercard and American Express all said over the weekend they would cut service in Russia.


South Korea’s Samsung Electronics, a leading supplier of both smartphones and computer chips, said it would halt product shipments to the country, joining other big tech companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Intel and Dell, the Associated Press reported.
