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.

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.

    They 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.
