You incorrectly assume that "new hires of Russian nationals are no longer permitted", this is is not correct. At some institutions a background check must be performed and it is very likely the institute did not want to do it. It is a matter of time/resources, not a blanket ban as you imply.

"You left, because the sanctions are making life in Russia uncomfortable" is a little loaded, too - spring is about as early as it gets for fleeing. With the Russian government dispensing their pots of gold (which would be way better spent on developing the economy instead of waging wars, but alas), sanctions are hardly what makes the life in Russia uncomfortable even now: it is domestic policies. OP would likely have better life prospects in Russia if we are talking wealth and goods strictly and ignore the issue of personal freedoms.

People often draw parallels with German scientists fleeing in WWII - they had to make concessions, but they were able to put their skills towards what they believed to be a just cause and, eventually, live decent lives. It makes sense to not welcome them with the open arms and present with offers as good as if nothing happened, but you also certainly want to avoid not providing any viable alternative at all and make them go home disappointed and thinking "I guess my government was right all along after all, I should go work for them instead".

You trying to tie me with my government actions, where it is not really a government but just a mod of thieves and murderers. Actually, what are you doing right now, when your government keep buying gas and oil from the aggressor? Please, your are not the judge and I am not in the court.

"You left, because the sanctions are making life in Russia uncomfortable, and you were perhaps (rightly) worried that you could be conscripted into the army." You don't know why I left. Staying in the country where police stopping young people and checking their phone on the matter of antiwar information and only for repost of oppositional views you could be in jail. Also I am ethnic Ukrainian and I don't want to know if putin will start a with hunt, like hitler did with Israelites.
