Cutting these lines does not stop violence. It may justify even more stupid actions against innocent people. Let's help to get the truth to all the people and support the right decisions.

You are totally wrong if you think that Russian people need access to the information or their access to it will help anything. I don't believe that RIPE
will revoke anything from Russia. Of course, RIPE is above that, it does not bother by such issues (of course until Russia will knock on your door
but now never mind). But do not invent false foundation, please.

P.S. They all had access to the information before 24 February this year. Has this helped with anything?

Probably will be the only way to isolate Russia from the rest of the world and avoiding them using also Internet for cyber-criminal actions. They could still try to escape from that using other transit providers, but they will need to hide the ASNs, etc. not so easy from any of the sides that you look at it. May be filtering specific IP ranges, ordered as part of the sanctions against Russia by all the ISPs in each country supporting that ...
