> So what the heck they are blaming me for being Russian and terminating the contract without any agreement?

This is how economic sanctions work. You hit the nation economically to put pressure on the politicians. In any case people are at least in part responsible for their governments. If you have an issue with it, join protests against Putin, do things to stop him from committing murder and war crimes. In the meantime, the sanctions here are not your fault, nor are they Namecheaps - they are Putin's fault.



For the record, it is not a sanction, it's a choice for the private company. And I don't have an issue with it at all, I know that I will never use their services ever again, as they ruined their reputation in one day.


So let's say it was WW2 and it was a Jewish company refusing to provide a service to Germans in Germany. You would never use their service again? You'd blame the Jews?


Don't try to diverge my words. Here's an American company refusing to provide a service to Russians outside of Russia. I blame American company for their decision.

The right analogy with WW2 is Australian company refusing to provide a service to Germans living in America. WTF?


It's a Ukrainian company, even though they are registered in multiple nations. 95% of the employees are in Ukraine. They (their actual city and homes) are being bombed by Russia and Russians. Even if they had 5% of their company in Ukraine, it's reasonable to not provide service to companies that enrich the people bombing their employees.


I agree that they don’t want to have relationships with the aggressors and totally accept this. But you should admit it is done by Russian government and I as Russian citizen with residency in the UK have nothing with it. I didn’t choose to be born in Russia and I left Russia almost three years ago.
