Netflix Suspends Services In Russia Amid Ukraine Invasion

Must read

[ad_1]

Netflix has moved to bar its streaming service in Russia following President Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.⁣


According to multiple reports, the streamer announced that it would suspend all future projects, acquisitions and now all of its services in Russia in a bid to protest the war spearheaded by the country.⁣

“Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia,” a spokesperson for Netflix said in a recent interview.⁣

Prior to the latest move, Netflix had confirmed four new Russian originals including a crime thriller series directed by Russian filmmaker Dasha Zhuk. The series which had began principal photography was put on hold.⁣

Although relatively new in Russia (the streaming platform launched in 2016 with an estimated 1 million subscribers), the latest move joins other global corporate bodies as well as film studios who have in recent weeks moved to boycott the country amid the ongoing war.⁣

Companies including Microsoft and Apple announced that they were suspending activities in the country even as they continue to face sanctions.
