iHerb during the Russian-Ukrainian war
On February 25, 2022, it announced a temporary suspension of accepting orders from Russia. The online retailer explains the temporary refusal to accept new orders by logistical problems. At the same time, restrictions were imposed in Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova. Relevant information was posted on the official website of iHerb in Russia.

iHerb's problems may be related to the start of the war in Ukraine. The day before, it became known that Russian Post was increasing the delivery time of goods due to problems with air traffic after the closure of airports in southern Russia.
