A bit of context - Russia has been experiencing IT people shortage to the extent that they have granted military draft exception to IT workers, be it government or private. That US move is a part of the surfacing new "neuter the Russian Nazi beast" strategy that seems to be adopted by the civilized world. I mean it would be great if Ukrainian and NATO forces quickly reached the Moscow and denazified and demilitarized Russia like it was done to Germany in 1945. Unfortunately, that may not happen soon, and there may be years ahead with the Russian Nazist regime (as it is a totalitarian fascist regime with "master nation" ideology thus by definition it is a nazist one) menacing its neighbors and threatening the world with nukes. So, the beast has to be starved and neutered in those years ahead.
The brain drain of 90-ties has resulted in severe impact to Russia - as you see there is no capable Generation X aged leadership in Russia with most of the areas of technology and military having made no noticeable progress - like for example those blood thirsty old generals having no idea about drones, cell networks, etc. and only capable of WWII style ruining of the cities using unguided bombs. Brain draining the next generation from Russia would tremendously deepen Russian impotence in tech/military/space/etc. over the next decade.
