About

AliExpress Russia, the joint venture of Alibaba Group, has laid off approximately 40% of its staff following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which severely disrupted its cross-border e-commerce operations. The cuts, implemented by May 2022, reflect the significant impact of the war and international sanctions on its business, forcing a sharp reversal from earlier expansion plans in what was its largest market.
