Can a US company legally buy and transfer crypto?

Yes, but KYC, which is this case likely makes the transfer illegal.

So use Monero then. From the exchange's wallet -> your personal software wallet -> hardware wallet.

Then use the HW wallet to send coins to Russians, making sure they do something similar (moving the Monero around to a few wallets) on their end to try and cover some tracks.

Should be sufficient.

This is everything that's wrong with crypto; it only even attempts to solve the technical problem and ignores or worsens the legal, social and political issues.

OP is trying to pay Russian employees. I figured they already knew that in the current climate it would be illegal.
