PHNOM PENH -- Cambodian casino operator NagaCorp has suspended development of its first overseas project, a casino resort near Vladivostok, Russia, citing "various uncertainties."

The company did not directly mention Russia's invasion of Ukraine or the resulting sanctions many governments have announced on financial and business dealings with Russia in its filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Thursday night.
