Oh come on, someone asked you a technical question - you can't expect everyone to research the country of origin, country of residence, and perhaps a personal situation of every private person, developer, or a company before emailing them.

Those few words are a perfectly adequate response though. The author has bigger things to get done right now.

  Then why not cache the response and just put a banner on the project giving people context, instead of individually half answering the technical questions with a rhetorical question?

    They did, the README was updated 4 days ago with a banner explaining the situation.

The whole sentence is self-explanatory: > One asked a technical question about my lib, I answered "do you know what's happening in Ukraine right now?" - no reply. Innocently asking the question seems fine; as you say we generally don't know the personal circumstances of online contacts. But once appraised of it a quick reply would be human, at least to the effect of "good luck, keep as safe as possible & please ignore my question until happier times are restored"
