Should it not be? If the criteria is there solely to make sure only his countrymen can get jobs and get to the US then I agree it’s wrong. However if they were willing to hire anyone who spoke Russian regardless of origin then I think the question becomes
“Are people/companies allowed to hire for niche skill sets that fit their specific needs, when it de facto bars 99% of citizens from getting the job?”
At this point in time I believe there is an embargo on trade with Russia. Having a job like that since the beginning of the Ukraine war sanctions should have raised red flags.
