My guess is that he's being pressured. Not sure why this would be happening now if it were all just him. Who knows though maybe it is just him.
He mentions sanctions but then also makes it sound like its the right thing to do. I'm not sure what the purpose of this move is other than virtue signaling. Are these maintainers working for the Russian government? Is there concern about malicious intent? Are they advocating for war? Are they openly supporting the current regime? Many of these types of moves seem to me to be virtue signaling on the one hand but also fear of legal action from the US government.
I get it. There is probably a lot of pressure to do this type of thing. Its just a sad state the world is in. I wish I believed the powers that be were interested in resolution and peace. I do not. They seem to want conflict for the sake of profit.

Here's what I understand. This is due to the GPL license and the holder being a US entity, The Linux Foundation. Legally they are required to do this.
That said, this is so bad IMO. Just another consequence of evil men using nations like pawns to enrich themselves. These men do not care for the Ukraine people or the Russian people. It's truly evil.

May I have misinterpreted Russia's own claims via it's own official channels but, isn't Russia the one who launched a troglodyte Hitler-style invasion over Ukraine? So far I checked RT and TASS and it's in their very own words and footage that they indeed invaded.

If the moral reasoning actually held, anything from the USA and Israel should be sanctioned. I'm not in favor of Putin. He's as bad for freedom as any other world "leader". But to try to single out Russia is really ridiculous. How many foreign military bases for Russia? How many for the USA? How many wars started by the USA? How many people droned out of existence by the USA? Sanctions are an insult to our intelligence.

Vaccines have saved the lives of literally tens of millions of people.
Just for your edification in case you are actually willing to be educated: mRNA doesn't change your genetic sequence in any way. It is the exact same intermediate - and temporary - kind of material that your cells generate internally all the time as part of your normal cell processes, and all that the mRNA vaccines do is to add a dose their own specialized sequence that then makes your normal cell machinery generate that spike protein so that your body learns how to recognize it.
The half-life of mRNA is a few hours. Any injected mRNA will be all gone from your body in a day or two. It doesn't change anything long-term, except for that natural "your body now knows how to recognize and fight off a new foreign protein" (which then tends to fade over time too, but lasts a lot longer than a few days). And yes, while your body learns to fight off that foreign material, you may feel like shit for a while. That's normal, and it's your natural response to your cells spending resources on learning how to deal with the new threat.
And of the vaccines, the mRNA ones are the most modern, and the most targeted - exactly because they do not need to have any of the other genetic material that you traditionally have in a vaccine (ie no need for basically the whole - if weakened - bacterial or virus genetic material). So the mRNA vaccines actually have less of that foreign material in them than traditional vaccines do. And a lot less than the very real and actual COVID-19 virus that is spreading in your neighborhood.
Honestly, anybody who has told you differently, and who has told you that it changes your genetic material, is simply uneducated. You need to stop believing the anti-vax lies, and you need to start protecting your family and the people around you. Get vaccinated.
I think you are in Germany, and COVID-19 numbers are going down. It's spreading a lot less these days, largely because people around you have started getting the vaccine - about half having gotten their first dose around you, and about a quarter being fully vaccinated. If you and your family are more protected these days, it's because of all those other people who made the right choice, but it's worth noting that as you see the disease numbers go down in your neighborhood, those diminishing numbers are going to predominantly be about people like you and your family.

Fascinating! I haven't even said anything about genetic changes because of the death jabs. You're wrong of course and, yes, there are risks of genetic changes. But I hadn't said anything about that in my comments.
I see the amount of text you typed in the short interval between your comments. I thought you were just a troll but now I see you're actually a shill with prepared responses. It's like having a conversation with ChatGPT so I'll be stopping this here.
However, for the benefit of the other people reading this, the innocent bystanders, if you're interested in reading more about genetic changes because of the death jabs, I invite you to do research on plasmid DNA and also on transfectase.
By the way, if you don't have as much time as I did for years reading about all this and you want a shortcut, perplexity.ai can be useful. It's free and it gives its internet sources so you can actually continue the research and see if the sources seem credible.

Have not seen any credible evidence that demonstrates that the vaccines do not save millions more than they kill - do you have some?

The death jab pushers are going to have to work much harder because the booster uptake rates show that people have learned their lesson and are not falling for it anymore.
"only 22.5% of adults and 14% of children received the 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine." : https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/public-health/updated-2024-2025-covid-19-vaccines-who-should-get-them-and-when
People know that people around them are dying and getting sick from the death jabs. They see it. They see the "excess mortality" with their own eyes. The unvaxxed see that they're not dying from the upgraded flu, neither are their friends. If people were dying in droves and the death jabs were actually saving people, they would line up and roll up their sleeves. They don't, even with all the governments, media, medical associations putting the propaganda dial at 11.
It's not working anymore. Try harder!

The only people I know who ever get covid are vaxxed and boosted. The people I know who aren't, including myself, never get it. How about you? What booster are you on now? Still wearing a mask I assume?

Un-sourced anonymous anecdote is not evidence.
I am vaccinated and have never, to my knowledge, had Covid.
No need to wear a mask (unless you are especially vulnerable as some people are (elderly and/or disabled/immune deficient) through no fault of their own) since community infection levels are now very low and anyway wearing a mask does not reduce your risk of catching Covid substantially but it does reduce the risk of you passing it on to others- your obvious inability to understand basic facts is evident.
Ill-informed conspiracy theory spouters will have definitely caused deaths due to Covid...such reckless nonsense is dangerous and needs to be challenged.
You have failed repeatedly to provide any credible evidence Covid vaccines caused more deaths than they prevented because your claim is pure, disingenuous and dangerous misinformation.
