FedEx Corp., one of the world's largest logistics companies, has announced that it is suspending shipments of freight and packages from Russia and within the country.

FedEx suspended shipments from Russia and domestic Russian operations with freight and packages as of March 4, the U.S. company said on its website.

All transit shipments to Russia, including those accepted as of February 24, will be returned to sender if possible. They will be returned free of charge with the economy service option. Shipments already in Russia will be delivered, the company said.
