DJI stops drone sales to Russia and Ukraine
The world’s largest drone maker, DJI Technology is suspending business in Russia and Ukraine, making it the first major Chinese company to halt sales into Russia because of the conflict.
Consumer drones from DJI have reportedly been repurposed for military use by Russia. The move by DJI could signal a start of Chinese pressure to find an end to the conflict.
“DJI is internally reassessing compliance requirements in various jurisdictions. Pending the current review, DJI will temporarily suspend all business activities in Russia and Ukraine,” DJI said in a statement.

总的来说，中国公司遵循中国政府局部局部局部批评俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵，并继续与俄罗斯开展业务。尽管美国和许多其他国家呼吁对俄罗斯实施制裁。
The suspension of business in Russia and Ukraine was: “not to make a statement about any country, but to make a statement about our principles,” Reuters reported a DJI spokesperson saying. “DJI abhors any use of our drones to cause harm, and we are temporarily suspending sales in these countries in order to help ensure no-one uses our drones in combat.”
