The “inbound services to Russia and Belarus have been
suspended”, DHL said in a statement, adding that it was “not accepting
shipments to those countries until further notice”.
DHL, one of the world’s largest logistics groups, also
closed its operation and offices in Ukraine until further notice to protect the
“safety of our employees”, it said.
An increasing number of Western companies have broken off
ties with Russia, which is the target of sanctions.
German logistics group DB Schenker announced the suspension
of some services in Russia on Tuesday.
Airfreight deliveries to and from Europe were stopped after
a number of Western countries blocked Russian planes from their airspace, DB
Schenker said, while overland services continued with delays.
DB Schenker also suspended all services to and from Ukraine.
The Swiss logistics group Kuehne+Nagel on Tuesday similarly
suspended all import shipments “with immediate effect and pending further
notice” with the exception of medical and humanitarian deliveries.
Kuehne+Nagel likewise halted its operations in Ukraine.
The world’s biggest shipping companies on Tuesday also
announced they were holding off on non-essential deliveries to Russia.
Danish shipping giant Maersk, Switzerland-based MSC and
France’s CMA CGM all announced that they would no longer take bookings for
goods from Russia and were suspending most deliveries. -AFP
