Volkswagen, the second largest carmaker in the world, temporarily paused the delivery of cars already in Russia to local dealerships, amid a supply chain crisis worsened by the conflict in Ukraine

.A spokesperson for VW said last week that it would halt production for several days this week at two German factories after a delay in getting parts made in Ukraine.

Separately, Swedish firm Volvo said it had suspended car shipments to the Russian market until further notice as sanctions start to exert pressure on Moscow's economy. The company said it had made the decision because of"potential risks associated with trading material with Russia, including the sanctions imposed by the EU and US"."Volvo Cars will not deliver any cars to the Russian market until further notice," a company spokesperson said.

Automakers are already under strain from supply chain chaos triggered by the pandemic and a shortage of essential parts, including microchips.
