The RIPE NCC tries to take a pragmatic view:

Just because some politicians decided it was a good idea to start a war,
that shouldn’t mean that some people cannot register addresses. The RIPE
NCC is in the business of registering addresses, not in the business of
taking sides in international conflicts.

And I for one think this is a good thing.

The Crimean situation will be resolved one way or another and nothing we
or the RIPE NCC do will change the outcome. In the mean time the people of
Ukraine, the people of Russia and the people of Crimea all have a need for
RIPE NCC services and I’m glad the RIPE NCC is trying to not let stupid
politics get in the way of providing those services.

All the best,

Alex
