World of Tanks studio Wargaming has parted ways with developer Sergey Burkatovskiy after he shared opinions on social media regarding the crisis in Ukraine. A spokesperson confirmed Burkatovskiy's departure to PC Gamer.

"Sergey Burkatovskiy expressed his personal opinion on social media which categorically does not reflect the position of the company," a spokesperson said. "He has been let go and is no longer at the company."

In since-deleted posts following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, PC Gamer reports that Burkatovskiy said he backs "the operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR [Donetsk People's Republic], and the LPR [Luhansk People's Republic]."
