This comes after the company had also announced the delay of the release of films in Russia due to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

The company have subsequently released this statement.

"Given the unrelenting assault on Ukraine and the escalating humanitarian crisis, we are taking steps to pause all other businesses in Russia. This includes content and product licensing, Disney Cruise Line activities, National Geographic magazine and tours, local content productions and linear channels". 

"Some of those business activities we can and will pause immediately", they added. "Others, such as linear channels and some content and product licensing, will take time given contractual complexities". 

Disney also added that they will work with their NGO partners in order to provide "urgent aide and other much-needed assistance to refugees". 

Disney are just the latest company to pause all dealings with Russia, with Spotify, Apple, Netflix and Warner Bros all making similar annoucements since the invasion began last month. 

They did insist that they "remain committed" to their "dedicated colleagues in Russia who will remain employed".
