„But you don’t remote work…“
„I know, but apparently my car does“

Makes me wonder: If the war ends tomorrow, would western companies try restoring their businesses in Russia? Many of them had their assets confiscated, and the volitility of the situation even with supposed „peace“ may not justify risking it again.
