   March 16th 2022 - Ukraine Update   
      
   [gleened from webhostingtalk.com]   
      
   Three weeks into the invasion of Ukraine, pressure continues to be mounted on   
   Russia to end their actions. Last week Cogent told its Russian customers it's   
   disconnected its high-capacity internet service, and others are taking similar   
   action since then with Lumen saying it was pulling the plug on Russia because   
   of an "increased security risk" and LINX (The London Internet Exchange)   
   disconnected Russian telecom companies Megafon and Rostelecom. Amazon   
   announced that it has stopped accepting new AWS customers From Russia and   
   Belarus, and the debate over the rights and wrongs of the Ukranian ICANN rep   
   requesting Russia be knocked off the Internet continues. In our Social Issues   
   section (where members come to vent) ninak, who's father's ancestors are   
   buried in the Ukraine, tells a personal story of a customer complaint, another   
   member asks how long the sanctions will last, and a thread asks if the Russian   
   regime will destroy all the Ukrainian data centers.
