I’m currently working on getting an engineering friend (and his wife), out of Moscow. He works for Energia, and his team comes here every 6 months or so and works with our team on ISS equipment. We’ve been doing this together for over 10 years. Even after retirement for me at the end of 2020, we still visit when he is here. His status on working the ISS is threatened by possible sanctions that include the personnel that come here, and his teams’ next visit (June time frame) might be in jeopardy. Getting him, and his wife, here to the US, herein lies my ‘contribution’ to that end.
