Wix and Vistaprint are among several tech companies that have offered to pay workers to relocate to the west of Ukraine, or other countries within Europe, amid fears of a Russian invasion.

Ukrainian Army soldiers pose for a photo as they gather to celebrate a Day of Unity in Odessa, Ukraine, Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022. As Western officials warned a Russian invasion could happen as early as today, the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called for a Day of Unity, with Ukrainians encouraged to raise Ukrainian flags across the country.

The threat of further military conflict with Russia prompted Nasdaq-listed Cimpress to offer to evacuate its 500 Ukrainian staff outside the country, or to safety further west in Ukraine. Israeli website builder Wix has offered its 1,000 local staff, and their families, temporary evacuation to Turkey while a number of other tech companies like Ukrainian outsourcing giant Ciklum, and San Francisco-based startup AppsFlyer, have plans to relocate Ukrainian staff to safety.

“We are ready to help our employees if they want to relocate somewhere right now,” says Maksym Liashko, co-CEO of the Cyprus-based online gambling company Parimatch which has around 1,000 employees in Ukraine. Only a handful of Parimatch’s Ukrainian staff have chosen to relocate outside the country but the company had plans to keep workers online wherever they are, says Liashko.

The move by tech companies to relocate staff comes after the United States and several European countries
