Asos has announced that it has made the decision to cut ties with Russia following its invasion of Ukraine last week, stating that it was not “practical nor right” to continue trading in the country.
Alongside this announcement, the group said it has also suspended all sales in Ukraine immediately following the invasion, stating it was “impossible” to carry on operations in the region.
In a statement, the online retailer said: “Asos’ priority is the safety of its colleagues and partners in Ukraine and Russia. Immediately following the invasion, Asos suspended sales in Ukraine as it became impossible to serve customers there.
“Against the backdrop of the continuing war, Asos has decided that it is neither practical nor right to continue to trade in Russia, and has, therefore, today suspended our sales there. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and all those affected in the region.”
