German logistics giant DHL announces it is stopping deliveries to Russia and Belarus, joining a growing list of Western businesses to cease operations in the countries after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

The “inbound services to Russia and Belarus have been suspended,” DHL says in a statement, adding that it is “not accepting shipments to those countries until further notice.”

DHL, one of the world’s largest logistics groups, also closes its operation and offices in Ukraine until further notice to protect the “safety of our employees,” it says.

An increasing number of Western companies have broken off ties with Russia, which is the target of sanctions.
