It seems apparent that many commenters on this thread incorrectly think that all Russian developers have been banned. Hopefully we can get clarification soon about exactly which people or companies are banned due to sanctions, but it seems most likely that Cyberax is correct. The US has been sanctioning specific Russian companies and individuals, not Russia as a whole.
