The largest Chinese Internet store AliExpress, part of Alibaba Group, stopped servicing clients in the Crimea. About it reports local resource FlashCrimea citing a company statement.
“Currently the delivery of goods to the Crimea stopped”, — stated in AliExpress. This decision is explained by the refusal of courier companies to deliver the goods to the Peninsula.

We try to find a way to solve the problem, and if it is found, we will notify You on your email”.

AliExpress has opened an office in Russia in June this year. In the month on the online store, which unites tens of thousands of large and small sellers, we had 18-19 million visits from Russia, and our country became the second largest buyer.
