Motorola is closing down its Russian office and stops delivering its produce on the Russian market, Gazeta.ru reports.

The mobile phone manufacturer’s distributors haven’t commented on the situation so far.

Motorola’s decision to leave Russia is most likely related to the company’s wish to reduce its outgoings by giving up on some local markets. According to Mobile Research Group, Motorola is also closing its offices in Africa and Europe (the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Ukraine) this year.
