Being the person in charge of UA.LUCKYNET I would definitely agree
with Mr.Stesin (despite the fact we work for competing companies ;).
I don't think that, Russia being now a foreign state, servicing
LIRs from there would make any difference from being served by RIPE
itself _even if ROSNIIROS would do the job right_. We have no problems
whatsoever either with the language or with money transfers directly to RIPE.
>From my experience money transfers to Russia would not be easier ;).
Moreover, we are serving both Ukraine and Israel, which is not
part of CIS ;)

Since RIPE-167 allows us the free choice, I would like to make
an official statement in the name of UA.LUCKYNET: We would like
to be served by RIPE itself in the future.

And let me thank RIPE for the work they've already done for us.
