STALKER and STALKER 2 are made by a Ukrainian studio.
STALKER 2 had a difficult development finish due to the war breaking out, half the studio had to evacuate to Romania, the other half stayed and took care of the servers before the data could be migrated. A lot of the devs got drafted (one was actually joining stand-ups from his trench on the frontline, whenever he could).
The release was shaky, but a friend tells me that right now the game is excellent. And they’re still patching and improving it!

Adding on to this: Metro 2033 is also made by a Ukrainian Studio and published by Austrian publisher Deep Silver.
