[members-discuss] Discussion on LIRs from Donetsk Area

Hi.

Does it mean the RIPE NCC staff approved the documents issued in Russia with registered address in Lugansk?  If I understand correctly Lugansk is not occupied/annexed officially. It’s a part of Ukraine and any provided ’non-Ukrainian’ document is a useless scrap of paper.

I don’t understand how is it possible to approve same documents? What is LIR registration based on?

I think this registration is a part of big problem which is shown on this page: http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/listings/RIPE
