MOSCOW, March 22. The American software supplier Autodesk has banned Russian companies from using its products, RBC reported, citing a letter from the organization.
“You (Autodesk customers. — Ed.) should not allow any of your Russian authorized subsidiaries companies or third parties that are based in Russia or are Russian legal entities, use our products and services,” the document says.
How the publication reports that the company justified this decision by the bans imposed by the 12th package of EU sanctions against Russia.
