Ukraine is not part of NATO. Should they wish to do so, they are a sovereign state and should be free to apply, entirely irrespective of the feelings of anyone in Moscow.
Until the day of their full admission to NATO, they cannot be held liable, punished or even criticized for any of the actions of NATO. Specifically, starting a full illegal invasion against them has nothing to do with NATO.

I think the days when you could just set up a company in some random country and run it from Germany are pretty over, the Finanzamt will just treat it as a domestic entity unless you can prove you've gone full nomad.
I worry that Lukas is about to find out about the business end of the Umwandlungssteuergesetz: converting a Einzelunternehmen to a GmbH is a surprising amount of faff, and once you've done it you (normally) end up with a company you can't easily sell for 7 years without paying some pretty hard-core taxes. I got to do this whole dance early this year, and it took a big bite of momentum out of the little bootstrap I was trying to pull.
As weird as it sounds: German founders, consider just biting the bullet and doing a GmbH straight away. Conversion is no fun. And even worse, UGs are hated by everyone with a law degree for absolutely no reason, but they will try to make your life as difficult as they can just to show who is boss.
