I agree with the sentiment as well and thank OP for reminding us of this, but sometimes you can't exercise your principles because more practical matters take precedence. Presumably, these developers are already working, know the codebase well and deliver. To take the time and money required to replace them (which wouldn't be fair to them, mind you, they may be against the war as many Russians are) would be a much larger donation to the anti-war movement than the company is prepared to make. Maybe to offset it the company could device to donate to some war relief fund, much like carbon credits.
