Comment on Britain’s nuclear submarine software built by Belarusian engineers

This is an outlier, but not by that much. Before the invasion of Ukraine, there was a lot of IT outsourcing to Belarus in the UK, with them having a technically competent workforce and low wages. (Much of that was things like software testing and boilerplate, though it’s not entirely infeasible that pieces of defence work ended up being outsourced there, especially if politically well-connected people stood to pocket the savings.)

The war in Ukraine changed very little, the same engineers who were already working out of Belarus on British, and likely other national software projects just moved to places like Poland and continued as if nothing ever happened.
