Yesterday, pull request #817 was successfully approved and merged into the main branch. As part of this pull request, all providers affiliated with or based in Russia were removed from the project's repository.

Additionally, as part of the discussion in issue #823, @DicsyDel provided information that "it was deemed appropriate to block access from certain territories to avoid any legal issues", citing sanctions on a Russian legal entity.

The restriction on access to the registry from Russian IP addresses is absolutely justified by the need to comply with US sanctions. However, the removal of Russian-linked providers has nothing to do with compliance with sanctions, which I explained above.

Therefore, these providers should be returned to the registry. I kindly ask you not to close this PR without a full explanation of the reason for such deletion, as well as an answer to my counterarguments. After all, this is an open source, and the community would like to get a good explanation of what happened.
