That's the problem with centralized services.

HodlHodl, based out of the EU, LocalCryptos, LocalCoinSwap, and RoboSats are also centralized services -- but they have not mentioned complying with these sanctions from the EU.
They are KYC-Free P2P platforms, (and non-custodial as well) so they can't even know which users are in Russia (albeit I suppose if they wanted to they could restrict listings for RUB (currency) and/or payment methods exclusive to Russia.
Bisq, being a second layer protocol implemented with open source software is probably the only true decentralized P2P trading platform, at this point.

it seems that the EU has learned nothing since Hitler.
Caus all Russians are banned now, imagine if was all Jews. I mean i guess they have learned a little bit, since its technically not jews this time. And there are no concentration camps, but still. They are acting like hitler junior.
