Disney suspends Russian operations in response to Ukraine invasion

The Guardian says Disney has become the latest company to suspend its Russian operations in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

The entertainment group said on Thursday it will pause all business there, including content and product licensing, Disney Cruise Line activities, National Geographic magazine and tours, local content productions and its live television channels.

“Given the unrelenting assault on Ukraine and the escalating humanitarian crisis, we are taking steps to pause all other businesses in Russia,” the company said.

Disney said some businesses would take time to pause due to contractual nuances. The company had earlier said it would halt the release of theatrical films in Russia. Fellow Hollywood studios Warner Bros and Sony Pictures Entertainment had also decided on such a move last month.
