나이키는 다른 주요 브랜드들과 함께 러시아 시장에서의 완전한 이탈을 확인했습니다. 2021년 4분기 기준 러시아에 대한 단말기 공급 1위였던 삼성전자는 지난 3월 초 ‘현재의 지정학적 진전’을 이유로 출하를 동결했습니다. 그러나 이번 주 이즈베스티아는 이 회사의 가까운 소식통을 인용해 소매업체들에 대한 장비 공급과 공식 온라인 스토어 재개로 10월에 판매가 재개될 수 있다고 전했습니다. 삼성은 결정된 것이 없다고 말했습니다.

Sept 16 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday he had spoken to Nike Inc and thanked the U.S. sportswear maker for making what he called the “right decision” to pull out of Russia.
“This is an example of how business can play a significant role in protecting humanity and freedom,” he said in a nightly video address. “If a state chooses the path of terror, it is the duty of every self-respecting company to distance itself from such a state.”
The Ukrainian leader provided no further details. Nike officials were not immediately available for comment.
Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a “special operation.”
Nike told Reuters on June 23 that it was making a full exit from Russia, after saying in March it would temporarily suspend operations at all its Nike-owned and -operated stores in Russia in response to Moscow’s actions in Ukraine.
Nike joined other major brands in confirming its complete departure from the Russian market. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd , which was the leading supplier of handsets to Russia as of the fourth quarter of 2021, froze shipments in early March citing “current geopolitical developments.”
But Izvestia this week quoted a source close to the company as saying sales could resume in October, with supplies of equipment to retailers and a resumption of its official online store. Samsung said nothing had been decided. (Reporting by Elaine Monaghan Editing by David Ljunggren and Matthew Lewis) ((Elaine.Monaghan@thomsonreuters.com;)) Keywords: UKRAINE CRISIS/NIKE (PIX)
