My ex-employer didn’t want to pay in full to the team located in the war zone

My ex employer is a software development company with several teams in other countries. When the war started in a country where one of these teams was, first they were supportive.

Not to mention they were constantly stressed, prices for everything went skyrocketed (taxi for example went 3x up), transport stopped, shops didn't work for a while, total madness. Just expecting a 100% output in these conditions I find bizarre.
