May 30 (Reuters) - One of Microsoft Corp's ( MSFT )

subsidiaries in Russia plans to file for bankruptcy, according

to a note published on the official Fedresurs registry on

Friday.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) did not immediately respond to an emailed request

for comment.

President Vladimir Putin said this week that foreign service

providers like Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Zoom should be "throttled"

in Russia to make way for domestic software solutions.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) continued providing key services in Russia after

Moscow's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, but in June 2022 it

said it was significantly scaling down its operations due to

changes to the economic outlook and the impact on its business

there.

The U.S. tech giant had already removed Russian state-owned

media outlet RT's mobile apps from the Windows App store and

banned advertisements on Russian state-sponsored media in the

days after the invasion.

The note posted on Fedresurs on Friday said that Microsoft

Rus LLC was intending to declare bankruptcy.

The TASS news agency reported that Microsoft ( MSFT ) has three other

Russian units - Microsoft Development Centre Rus, Microsoft

Mobile Rus and Microsoft Payments Rus. It was not immediately

clear how those units might be affected.

Alphabet-owned Google's Russian subsidiary filed

for bankruptcy in 2022, saying that the seizure of its bank

account by Russian authorities had made it untenable for its

Russian office to function, including paying Russia-based

employees, suppliers and vendors.
