You get to choose whether you’re complacent and complicit, however. Russia could not have invaded Ukraine without a supportive populace. So no, sorry; no Russian citizen gets a "I don’t care about politics" free pass, just as the Germans didn’t get one after WW2.
You're going to be really upset when you find out that you're posting this comment on a website created in the country that, since WW2, has invaded or militarily attacked the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, Serbia, Haiti, and Afghanistan.
The fact is if you give that app attention and users it will be montetized at some point, capital from around the world will flow, and taxes will be paid on it in russia, and more missiles will be built.
Thanks for the note! The app is made with care for people everywhere, regardless of where it’s built.
And yes — there are other apps out there, but I wanted to create something simple, ad-free, and focused purely on supporting your journey.
Appreciate your point but I am sure you can relate to my concern that there is a good chance you will monetize it, and pay taxes that will be used to build missiles.
Guilt by association is a pretty weak argument, you don't get to choose where you are born.
Nothing wrong with feeling a bit guilty about it though. As I understand, most of you don't.

Well, that is your opinion.

It’s not guilt by association, it’s jurisdiction. Nobody cares if an ethnic Russian emigrant to France makes an app.
Nothing to do with guilt.

More opposition sent to Siberian gulags to “disappear”

Seriously, for your own mental well being, drop this crusade on the thread and go touch some grass.
