Their own military is directly engaged in conflict for direct gain of Ukrainian territory in a bid to reconstitute the USSR.

They are not engaged in the supply of arms to a third party state to prop up their preferred side. The Russian military is in Ukraine fighting directly. Ukraine at the point is just a proxy war caught in the middle of it all. If you don't think the west is in a new cold-war with russia/china right now - I don't know what to tell you.

In a regularly scheduled all hands meeting a few days after Russia invaded Ukraine, employees asked whether the company would consider relocation requests. Kaspersky has several employees in different countries, working from one of the 35 offices in 31 countries that the company claims to have. Instead of accommodating them, the company asked them to resign, as the company's founder Eugene Kaspersky emphasized the importance of standing next to him during tough times, according to the two former employees, who did end up resigning. A third source who still works at the company also told Motherboard that some Kaspersky employees were asked to resign after those employees asked to live and work somewhere else. From a report: In the wake of the invasion, at least two employees told Motherboard they asked to be relocated outside of Russia. But the war is also affecting employees of another Russian tech giant, and one of the most well known and respected antivirus makers: Kaspersky. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has indirectly hit the country's oligarchs through sanctions, as well as the country's top tech company Yandex, which saw its stock nosedive and whose deputy chief executive officer stepped down because of sanctions imposed by the European Union.
