I have an employee in Ukraine, and we were making a plan for him to leave.
As of late last night, men are no longer allowed to leave Ukraine.
We're doing the right thing of course... he'll be paid into the future even without him turning up for work, with only occasional check-ins expected at his convenience. We're keeping his job available, and ensuring he doesn't fall into poverty, whilst offering support for visas to EU countries.
But the reality is that men cannot leave Ukraine, and conscription has arrived.
Who is stopping him? The Ukrainian authorities? I had a meeting with a partner yesterday who have 50 developers in Ukraine. They are trying to relocate them to Italy.
