Well, can't seem to find it, so unless you can post your source...

Initially, the author of the game was the Russian studio "Cats who play" (also authors of other well made rts Syrian Warfare), they also presented the first demonstration of the gameplay, after the activation of the situation in Ukraine, the publisher said that he refused to continue cooperation with "Cats who play" and will continue to develop the game independently, but it is very likely in reality "cats who play" continue to develop the game, just the publisher decided to be safe from reputational risks

Cat's Who Play as they are formerly known are still developing the game.

The publisher probably just brought them out and plan to incorporate their studio into the rest their company as another studio to develop their games in-house.

If Slytherine legit picked up an Assad Propaganda: The Game project to publish in the first place, that's... disappointing.

Cats Who Play themselves announced that they transferred all assets to Slitherine and were leaving the project though.

It seems like Slitherine dumped them and is scrambling to find a company to finish the game.

It will be bad, which is unfortunate, because Syrian Warfare is a fantastic RTT.

The Metro series was actually developed in Ukraine...

There are good dev studios like Apeiron from Russia but yeah people tend to get Ukraine mixed in with Russia.
I recall hearing Men of War was Russian but it's also Ukraine developed, granted I think some of the games/expansions, but the original devs who've done the big main titles (sometimes with help from German/American/Russian studios) are Ukrainian, so it seems more like a mix-up since some of the games were Russian-developed.
I'm only really nervous about the dev shift since that tends to be a sign of death for games in development hell. (Either they never come out or they do come out but it's a mess since the new devs had to work with whatever the old devs left behind.)
