Re:

Wanted to ask you because you probably know some context/whom to ask.

I've heard of coming wave of sanctions against tech companies with R&D in Russia (basically any, not necessarily affiliated with Ru government). How can I find out details about that? Most people I've talked to are just speculating and guessing. I'd love to find what's actually going on.

It's not affecting me but affecting some good friends and partners as they are large shareholders in this kind of companies and I'm trying to help. Lobbyists are not super helpful, feels like most of them are scam.

Appreciate if you find a minute to respond and advise. I think you may know actual thing, not just guess.
