Oracle's announcement on Twitter came about three hours
after Ukraine's minister of digital transformation tweeted at the two companies
asking for support.
Oracle did not respond to requests for comment to elaborate
on its tweet, which said the company "has already suspended all operations
in the Russian Federation."
SAP in a blog post on Tuesday called economic sanctions
against Russia "an important mechanism in the efforts to restore
peace."
"We are stopping business in Russia aligned with
sanctions and, in addition, pausing all sales of SAP services and products in
Russia," Chief Executive Christian Klein wrote.
He said that in addition to an initial EUR 1 million in
humanitarian support toward Ukraine, SAP had "also offered to convert our
office space at locations across Europe into warehousing and accommodation for
refugees." -Reuters
