Reuters Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said on Tuesday that it has halted all product sales in Russia in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"We are deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stand with all those suffering as a result of the violence," Apple said in a statement. "We are supporting humanitarian efforts, providing aid for the refugee crisis, and doing everything we can to support our teams in the region."

The company outlined a series of actions in response to the intrusion, including halting all exports through its sales channels in the country. Apple Pay and other services were restricted, the company said. Russian state media outlets RT News and Sputnik News are no longer available for download on the Apple Store outside of Russia.

On Tuesday, users in Russia were still able to access Apple's online store, but attempts to buy an iPhone showed that they were not available for delivery.
