It is unclear whether Microsoft has reconsidered its business practices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, Russian media alleged that Microsoft (and Intel) had resumed some business in the country earlier this year.
In a statement, a Microsoft spokesperson said, “Microsoft takes export control and sanctions compliance very seriously, which is why after learning of the screening failures and infractions of a few employees, we voluntarily disclosed them to the appropriate authorities. We cooperated fully with their investigation and are pleased with the settlement.”
