Cisco is stopping all business operations, including sales and services, in Russia and Belarus for the foreseeable future. There are no statement about local manufacturing. A purportedly leaked Russian customs database shows around 500 shipments of Cisco gear arriving in Russia in August, months after the networking giant halted its business operations in that country. In January 2023, the manufacturer of network equipment and software products Cisco Systems "physically destroyed" its material and production stocks in Russia in the amount of 1.86 billion rubles due to the cessation of sales. These are mainly spare parts, however, other property is also subject to destruction, including the IT equipment itself, according to the accounting reports of one of Cisco's legal entities in the Russian Federation - Cisco Systems.
