Oracle suspends operations in Russia

ANKARA

Oracle announced Wednesday that it suspended operations in Russia amid the war in Ukraine.

"On behalf of Oracle’s 150,000 employees around the world and in support of both the elected government of Ukraine and for the people of Ukraine, Oracle Corporation has already suspended all operations in the Russian Federation," the US-based computer technology company wrote on Twitter.

The tweet was written in response to German multinational software corporation SAP and Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation.

Oracle's response came hours after Fedorov asked for support from Oracle and SAP via the social media platform.

"More sanctions imposed — faster peace restored in Ukraine! I’ve addressed to @SAP and @Oracle for support!" he wrote.
