Received the same email. I'm based in Lithuania and I have a Russian first name. No Russian addresses, IPs, billing info etc (because I have never been there!). How do you even select people to target with this? It's past midnight, I'm trying to figure out my options here. How exactly do the Euros I pay you from EU contribute to the Russian aggression?
Ah, this is probably the same fiasco as with Slack three years ago.
Stale and incorrect GeoIP data.
"Look, 5 years ago you accessed our services from an IP address which is now points to Russia! By MaxMind GeoIP lite Database!"
Last time I bothered to fix some data with them it took two months to even has a response.

Obviously you need to contact support and hope what some of 1700 Ukranian support workers wouldn't mistake you for "Russian occupant" solely by the name.
