As the war continues to have a devastating humanitarian impact in Ukraine, and sanctions on Russia continue to increase, we can no longer maintain a presence in Russia," Sony Music said in a statement.
Sony Group Corp's music business has exited Russia, transferring the business and musicians to local management, due to the Ukraine conflict.
"As the war continues to have a devastating humanitarian impact in Ukraine, and sanctions on Russia continue to increase, we can no longer maintain a presence in Russia," Sony Music said in a statement.
The music business suspended operations in Russia earlier this year following that country's invasion of Ukraine.
The company's robust streaming demand helped it recover from a year-long slowdown.
