Stellantis has halted production in Russia due to escalating sanctions and logistical challenges, which have severely impacted its operations at the Kaluga plant. Holding a 1% share of the local car market, the company has also ceased all exports and imports following Ukraine's invasion and plans to freeze future investments in the country. To support affected staff, Stellantis will continue paying salaries through a local downtime scheme, despite uncertain timelines for the operational halt. This move has contributed to a 3.6% decline in its share prices during pre-market trading.
