Jetbrains is Czech. They have suspended their sales and R&D activities in Russia and Belarus two weeks ago[1].

Their headquarters is Czech, but many of their developers are or at least were based in Russia.

"R&D activities" is a funny phrase. Does that mean they've stopped all development in Russia (i.e. there are no longer Russian employees working in Russia with commit access) or not?

Thanks! My bad.
