This. Weapons supply is somewhat gray zone. Russian know about it, don't like it and have openly protested, but it is probably not a good strategy to retaliate for this reason alone. NATO providing intelligence to Ukraine is actually a

I wouldn't underestimate the value of the Ukrainian NPPs and fertile land too, as well as access to the Black Sea. Maybe even the human capital shall not be underestimated.

From the data it looks like they get more or less an average market salary for e.g. architect, team lead, project manager position. What really surprised me was the equity that they keep until series A (below 20%). I expected something at l
