An interesting debate is brewing on Twitter regarding the ethical aspects of the offer by #Armenia for businesses in #Ukraine, #Russia, and #Belarus to move here. Here are my thoughts in a brief thread, and I would love to hear yours. #RussianUkrainianWar
First, on #Ukraine, I assume there really isn't much of a debate here. Continuing to run a business there is challenging in times of war and any moves to #Armenia might be temporary, with the company moving back as soon as regular operations are possible.
