Ford Motor Co. sold its 49% stake in the Sollers Ford joint venture, finalizing its exit from Russia after suspending operations in the country earlier this year after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ford’s business in Russia is small and has been downsized over the past three years. There were just 22,000 of its vehicles — including Ford-branded automobiles produced by an unconsolidated affiliate — sold there last year, according to regulatory filings.
