Offshore IT projects can sponsor the war in Ukraine – Boycott Russian IT

While Russian forces are brutally bombing civilians in Ukraine, dozens of IT service companies continue expanding their operations in Russia and Belarus, implicitly supporting the Russian invasion by paying taxes, salaries, and investments.

Hundreds of companies, including Accenture, Google, and Amazon, have already terminated contracts with russian providers to weaken the aggression by cutting off financial ties and funding the russian military aggression.

Every dollar you pay for russian-based IT services is indirectly utilized to build more missiles, dropped on maternity hospitals, schools, and kindergartens in cities like Mariupol, Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Luhansk, Odesa, and the capital Kyiv.

Transfer all the current software development, IPs, and data to an independent IT provider outside russia or belarus. Until then, every day you keep business ties in russia increases both reputational, financial, and ethical risks for your business.

What you should do now?

Check the list of companies who continue operations in russia and fund the war regime by paying taxes in russia. If you identified having contracts with one of the companies from the list, proceed to the instruction on how to change your IT service provider.
