From social media giants to chipmakers and video game publishers, a growing number of tech companies are halting business with Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

More than 400 companies have announced their withdrawal from Russia since the start of the war, according to a tally by Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and his research team at the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute.

Here’s an overview of what the main tech companies have announced so far. The list is growing and will be regularly updated.

The US chipmaker disclosed on March 16 that it had already stopped selling its products to Russian companies in compliance with US sanctions against Moscow.

The move was made public when Qualcomm replied on Twitter to a post by Ukrainian vice prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov urging the company to "stop all operations and supplies" in Russia.

"We have stopped selling products to Russian companies & comply with US sanctions," Qualcomm tweeted.

The rival US chipmaker announced on March 3 it had halted shipments of its products to customers in Russia and Belarus, adding: "Intel condemns the invasion of Ukraine by Russia".

The video game companies have all said they will no longer sell their games and content in Russia.

Sony's PlayStation unit has halted all sales of its consoles and software in Russia and cancelled the launch of its racing game Gran Turismo 7, while the PlayStation Store will no longer be available in the country.

"Sony Interactive Entertainment joins the global community in calling for peace in Ukraine," the company said on March 9.

For Electronic Arts (EA), which owns the FIFA franchise, the embargo includes games, add-on content, and virtual currency bundles, which will no longer be available in Belarus
