Spotify closes its office in Russia

Spotify has closed its office in Russia indefinitely in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, the audio streaming platform said.

"Our first priority over the past week has been the safety of our employees and to ensure that Spotify continues to serve as an important source of global and regional news at a time when access to information is more important than ever," Spotify said in a statement.

Spotify said it would match employee donations, two-to-one, to support local humanitarian efforts.
