Re: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.

Russians are doing protest, signing petitions, writing letters.
But saying anything against the war is criminalized, risks are really high.
And this letters most likely will be ignored, as they were ignored in the past.
People are trying to reach companies, that are more likely to hear them.
