@halva yeah it sucks, not really frameworks fault.

Reality is a lot of people, and companies, are getting caught in the current geo-political circumstances.

Honestly I wouldn't knowingly deal with anyone in Russia, due to the fear of what consequence I might face.

@ekg i mean it's less of that and more of the fact they refuse to even send parts to known customers if they know they're gonna be FF'd to an unsupported region (not even a legally dangerous one, AM is as neutral as it gets)

like idk, seems like a very weird position to take

@halva yeah, I know what you are saying.

But Armenia was part of some kind of defence pact with Russia?, I fear that might be enough.

Export rules for dual use items are weird, you basically need an export license from the US DOD. And their rules are not always understandable. At least with framework they are a US company, it's even stranger when non US company needs to follow the same rules.
