No it isn’t. No one needs to access any website in Russia or Belarus. The international internet is totally unnecessary and nobody will suffer for cutting them out. In fact, the world will benefit greatly from cutting out Russia from the internet! Imagine all the horrible cyberattacks and thefts of sensitive private info, money, ransomware attacks on cities schools and hospitals, and national security secrets stolen. China and Russia both deserve to be removed from the internet. They are abusive malicious actors using their access to the internet to do nothing but attack the responsible internet users. The naive high horse, think of the slippery slope attitudes from know it all HN commenters are part of the downfall of the West and freedom and liberty, principles directly opposed by those two dictatorships. Those who benefit from those principles, yet allow them to be turned around and used by the enemy of those principles to destroy those principles, don’t deserve those principles. Freedom and liberty are privileges whose rights belong to those who jealously guard them rather than let them be molested and abused by their enemies.

Can't you already do this if you control your own firewall? You can, right now, block all access from IP address ranges in Russia and China.

You act like USA is the pinnacle of freedom and liberty with a two party system, systematic racism. Have funded wars(iraq,afghan, nam) and terrorist organisations just to fill its own pocket and completely destabilized other countries for its own profit. With its flawed copyright systems, sending legal threats to citizen of countries where they don't even have jurisdiction (look piratebay sweden) to sinkholing BGP routes for an entire website. So please stop acting like the west is the zenith of what freedom and liberty should look like.
