"They should stay neutral in all this!!" – people sitting comfortably in a first world country opining about a company whose 1700 employees in Ukraine – including in Kharkiv – (https://www.namecheap.com/careers/ukraine/) are literally getting murdered as we speak. What should they do? Keep taking support calls from Russia while their missiles rain from above?
Yes, to everyone who is saying "why don't you block Americans for their war crimes as well?" Maybe they would, if American bombs were falling on their city.
So in "the Russian regime's war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine", the "in Ukraine" is the important part.
The actual message is "you are our enemy and we don't want to provide services for you" - which is fair enough, but not palatable by current business standards, so they instead couch it in moralistic high-ground terms that they can selectively apply.
It doesn't seem productive to attack the wording. A substantive objection would be more meaningful.

Given the amount of “just contact support” replies from the CEO it seems all they’ll be doing from now on is taking russian support calls.
