Dear all, 2 important things: 1) Networx-Bulgaria will support all help to Ukrainian operators and 2) Ian is completely right - we believe sanctions in the Internet connectivity will produce the opposite effect. Hence we stand against sanctions to Russion Internet operators - unless proven that they limit or manipulate the content in any way.

I also support same for Russian ISPs for 1 important reason. The internet is only place that Russian people could get open/independent news of what's going on in Ukraine from sources outside Russia. I know most Russian ISPs have now blocked access from Russia to pretty much all internet sites outside of Russia making even that hard. Some might still be getting access via VPN. Information is power and if we help to shutdown internet in Russia then the only information source left for Russians is Russian TV. So I fully support RIPE policy to continue to support internet access for all. Regards, Ian. -----Original Message----- From: members-discuss <members-discuss-bounces@ripe.net> On Behalf Of Max Tulyev Sent: 08 March 2022 12:55 To: Members Discuss <members-discuss@ripe.net> Subject: [members-discuss] LIR invoices for Ukrainian companies EXTERNAL MAIL Hi All, as you now there is a huge russian military invasion in Ukraine. The communications, especially Internet access, is one of the most important things during this time. Unfortunately, almost all ISPs facing with a financial impact of war because of non-payment crisis. A thousand of Euros is a huge money now even for big companies. I think it is a good idea to support Ukrainian ISPs and postpone payments for LIR for them until the end of the war. Please, do support of this proposal.
