Drone giant DJI Technology Co. said it will temporarily suspend business in Russia and Ukraine to ensure its products are not used in combat, making it the first major Chinese firm to cite the conflict in halting sales in Russia.
Ukrainian officials and citizens have accused DJI of leaking data on the Ukrainian military to Russia — allegations the world's largest maker of consumer and industrial drones has called "utterly false."
In contrast to the many Western firms that have pulled out of Russia to protest its invasion of Ukraine, Chinese companies have stayed there, in line with Beijing's stance of refraining from criticism of Moscow over the conflict.
