UPS and FedEx said in online statements on Sunday that both the companies had suspended both inbound and outbound logistics and delivery services Ukraine, as well as deliveries to destinations in Russia.

There were no further comments on the issue by neither of the companies.

About 3 per cent of its global sales is generated by the Volvo Group from the Russian market and the company has one manufacturing unit in the country.
"We now have a bit more clarity on sanctions and security in the region... this means all operations in Russia end," a company spokesperson told Reuters, adding that the measures would apply until further notice.
Ukraine was invaded by Russian forces last Thursday, making the worst fears of the West come true. The current war is the worst attack on one country by another in Europe since the Second World War.
