This story is part of War in Ukraine, CNET's coverage of events there and of the wider effects on the world.

As the Russia's war on Ukraine continues, a growing number of companies have said they are stopping sales of products and services in Russia. This will make items, including video games, iPhones and the PS5, harder to get in Russia. 

Apple and Microsoft both said they'll stop selling products in Russia. Game maker EA said it will stop the sale of games and other digital items while the conflict continues. Online services, such as Airbnb, are suspending operations in Russia.

Companies have also responded in other ways, including cracking down on misinformation and reducing the online presence of Russian state-owned media outlets like RT News and Sputnik News. Google and Twitter have suspended advertising in Russia. 

Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 after months of growing tension, marked by a buildup of Russian forces along Ukraine's borders. The US, the EU and the UK have all imposed economic sanctions on Russia, including ones aimed directly at Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine, which was part of the Soviet Union for much of the 20th century, declared its independence in 1991. Since then, the country has been establishing closer ties with Western Europe and the US.

Here's a look at tech, entertainment and finance companies that have stopped sales or other services in Russia:

Adobe: The maker of Photoshop and other software stopped all new sales and services in Russia, including its software for creative pros and its website analytics tools, citing "our civic and moral responsibility to support democracy and humanity" and government sanctions. In addition, the company cut off access to its cloud services for Russia's government-controlled media outlets.

Airbnb: The room-rental service has suspended all operations in Russia and Belarus and has said its nonprofit subsidiary will offer free temporary housing to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. It's also waived host and guest fees for bookings in Ukraine, as people worldwide use Airbnb as a way to provide income directly to Ukrainians by, as The Guardian put it, "paying but not staying."

Amazon: The online giant suspended shipments of all retail products to customers in Russia and Belarus, and suspended access to Prime Video for users in Russia.

Apple: The tech giant stopped selling its products in Russia and is halting online transactions, including limiting Apple Pay in the country. Additionally, it has disabled some Apple Maps features in Ukraine to protect civilians.

Customers using AWS in Russia include companies that are headquartered elsewhere but have development teams in Russia.

This includes ad revenue from YouTube, search and all other forms of Google-sponsored marketing. Some Google Maps features have also been disabled, though Google provides info on refugee resources for people fleeing Ukraine. Google also suspended billing on Play, its mobile app store, and paused payment-based services for YouTube users in Russia, such as YouTube Premium and Super Chat. Google Cloud on March 10 also stopped accepting new customers in Russia. YouTube on March 11 said it's removing videos that deny or trivialize the Russian invasion of Ukraine, broadening its ban on Russian state-sponsored media and preventing YouTube users in Russia from monetizing their videos in any way.

IBM: The computer giant has suspended all business in Russia, CEO Arvind Krishna said March 7, and is also offering support for IBM-employed refugees.
