Just to let you know, there's no message, and I'm visiting from a Russian IP. Disabling uBlock Origin doesn't make it show up either.

    This method is super inaccurate, since visitors from many countries (including Ukraine) could use Russian as their preferred language. You might probably want to use IP geolocation instead.

      No method is perfect, obviously. But in this case you probably want to use a bunch of heuristics, placing them in a OR statement would probably get you as close as possible. - Check preferred language (won't work for Russians who prefer English, and will show for non-Russians who prefer Russians) - Check where IP is coming from (won't work for Russians on the border if public node is on other side of bordering-countries, won't work for Russians who use VPNs) - Check preferred locale (won't work for Russians who has a different preferred locale, will show for non-Russians who use Russian locale) - Finally, ask the user where they are from (worse UX, won't work for people who are lying) Using all of them gets you pretty close to "perfect" but again, nothing is 100% perfect.

        Side note: Russian is Zelenskyy's first language.
