To be fair to the internet discussion, Linus's (and the other maintainers') communication on this could have been better. Still, it should've been pretty obvious from the start that this is a sanctions thing, and people and companies don't end up on sanctions lists for no reason -- though it is easy to end up on the list if you have even indirect ties to the Russian state.
