Hi Zomb,
Thanks for the report. This is known, and one possible work-around is
to use a VPN, or Tor: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54370#13
I've merged these two bug reports.
As for the block itself, it was a conscious decision but not one made
directly by the Guix maintainers. The institute hosting the servers
blocked Russian IP addresses after an increase in suspicious network
activity. As you say, probably due to ‘the recent events’.
Kind regards,
T G-R
