Well first, it is not a camp. No one is putting no one in prison there. Second, a company will want to abide by the laws of the countries it operates in. Having an employee somewhere may, nowadays, count as "operating in" that country. If they are not comfortable with some state laws, that makes sense to avoid these countries. Just like the companies that say they can't operate in Europe because of GDPR. Third, if you identify one of your employee as a Russian agent living abroad, you fire them and Russia is in the wrong there. But if you hire a Russian and that makes you legally forced to share some data, you would be in the wrong to not comply.
