Microsoft suspends new sales in Russia
blogs.microsoft.comMicrosoft employees with Ukrainian roots, you're the best - I know that you made a lot to make this possible. We'll win together / переможемо разом! Слава Україні!
Press release is rather vague. Does it mean that o365 will stop working in Russia? Local or hosted Exchange? Or is it just new sales?
Third paragraph: "We are announcing today that we will suspend all new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia."
Yes that’s the title as well, but is a subscription renewal a sale?
Correct, it won't affect subscription services such as Xbox Live, Game Pass, Office, etc, because that isn't a new sale, it's a continuation of an existing sale.

I think the main difficulty is how to renew if your card wouldn't work.
So they are still making tons of money off existing subscriptions?
