I like how one user deleted his comment saying even in Ukraine or Georgia basic dev earns more than 10k USD/month

No way. That must be top tier talent. With 10k USD a month you basically own the town.
You can go very very far with that money in western Europe too. Maybe places like Paris or London may be much more expensive, though.

Definitely. In my experience (lead dev in the UK), salaries for senior positions in London are at least 1.5-2x the amount elsewhere in the UK - but living costs are also much higher.

Not true, basic junior devs in Poland start even from $15K per year(invoice equivalent without VAT).
Good devs in Ukraine get $50K/year+ but AFAIK they have 5% taxes only. Good = hireable by S&P500 companies for example. Anyway most of them prefer to move to Poland for example due to better government/QoL.
