A comment on Open Letter to Visa and Mastercard from IT Specialists Fleeing Russia.

I'm really scared to stay in Russia. Saying anything against the army has been criminalized recently. Police is torturing and beating up people on peaceful protests.

I work in IT, and many of our western partners are stopping our partnership. No new software, no new hardware from other countries. I can't see how my company will stay afloat and pay me.

So I want to flee the country, I can't right now and moving will be hard for me financially. Disabling my visa card will make this already unbearable task even harder.

In Ukraine, people are dying because of your silent agreements and constant whining. No one will wait for you anywhere, stop whining and run away from your country.

I do not want you to take the jobs of Ukrainian guys who will survive after this war. They will survive without home, some without family, some without legs or arms.
