Hi Serg and colleagues, You asked good questions.

Or is it just concerns that it might happen theoretically?

It consists of 24 regions and Crimea, which was annexed in 2014. Each region might be compared to Belgium by its area. 14 regions of Ukraine haven't had occupied territories at all.There are completely deoccupied regions, like Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, and Summy region. There are many observers from the Ukrainian side, international and even from the Russian side, who print maps of the frontline. RIPE NCC could use a map and determine how far the front line is from the place of registration of the entity. For the moment 4 regions have occupied territories, 20 don't. For example, only Kharkiv region area is 31 415 square km, Belgium is 30 688 square km. It is huge territory and it wasn't occupied totally at the beginning of war and it is slightly possible that such a big region will be occupied at once and no one will notice this. If we look on the map of Kharkiv region and find Krasnohrad it is obvious it can't be occupied without massive offensive, which obviously will be noticed. As each change on the frontline is widely discussed in the European press and TV. Please note that Kharkiv region is 1/24 of whole Ukraine. If there will be a new offensive to the North of Ukraine and Kyiv, It will mean a second front opening for Russians and for the European community. If this happens, it will be widely discussed. So RIPE NCC will know the next day. But if there was a request a day before, why to postfone it? > And RIPE NCC is not blocking transfers by himself. The part of ua LIRs ask > NCC to do that. Temporarily. Honestly, no one asked to block UA to UA transfers, except those several people who came to the meeting. But such transfers are blocked too. > Until this working group adopts the necessary changes to the relevant polices. > > So no cynicism and naivety. Or something similar.
