TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Three Taiwanese technology firms have been accused of “digging in” against pressure to quit Russia by a Yale School of Management team, reports said Saturday (March 26).

Computer brand Acer Inc. said it was focusing on helping its employees from Ukraine live in safety, CNA reported. Five staff members had fled to other European nations, including Poland and Germany, the company said, adding that it was helping out with housing and employment problems.

As far as its business in Russia was concerned, Acer said it would respect all international trade regulations and measures. Computer shipments to the country have been suspended amid the sanctions and difficult transport situation.

Asustek Computer Inc., better known under its brand name ASUS, said its shipments to Russia had also stalled. The company added that it would donate NT$30 million (US$1.04 million) to Ukrainian relief.

The third Taiwanese tech company mentioned on the list, Micro-Star International Co., has not responded yet, CNA reported. The Yale list also named a number of international banks, airlines, and prominent Chinese firms such as Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei and Lenovo.
