Apple has halted the sale of its tech products in Russia amid President Vladimir Putin's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal reports Tuesday.

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