This. You might prefer to migrate elsewhere in future, but when Russia invaded, we were all assuming Kyiv might fall within a week.
It was not who had the "best" product, but who had Snowball Appliances/Azure Data Boxes available and able to deliver them to Ukraine on a timeline measured in hours.
AWS made the offer, the Ukrainians bit their hand off. Maybe Azure could have met the requirement too, but they weren't banging on the embassy door offering their services.
