They have employees in Kharkiv. If I had employees in a city being bombed out, I'd probably stop doing business with/within the entity doing the bombing, too.

It's not a PR move. If my arm is being injured, I move to protect it. I'm sure you would, too.
- axg11 5y agoVery well said - the context here is key.

Stop doing business with Russians who have no power over Putin is not really "mov[ing] to protect" an injured arm. It's more like an angry wail. Which, fair enough. It's a perfectly understandable desire. I'd probably feel the same way if I were a Namecheap employee in Ukraine. But it doesn't really do anything to protect Ukraine's interests.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoThey are choosing to stop doing business with the country dropping bombs on their employees and their homes. I didn’t read any grandstanding into it, just an expression of moral obligation toward their employees. That’s about as cut and dried as it gets. I think people on this board get very much caught up in the business aspect and fail to see the human side that is driving these actions.
