[members-discuss] LIR invoices for Ukrainian companies

Hi All,

I support that!

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.

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.

Thank you all!
