If that would be possible, we would not have this discussion at all, and the transfer of resources would not exist as such. Everybody would just get a fresh block of IPv6 addresses and we would forget about IPv4.

And I'm pretty sure you know that, so let's not diverge the discussion.

If the LIR is not a ISP provider, does it continue its work in Ukraine? This is purely to understand whether the position of the participant in the discussion is from a representative of the Ukrainian community and what part of this community he represents.
