I see. Thanks for this clarification. This might be indeed the case, and if the publisher referred to any such restrictions I’d understood. But their official letter which contains info on this said that restrictions only apply only to people in Russia or Belarus. Because of this wording, I have expected that the thing will follow the route of Binance or AirBnB, where you can work with the company without issues if you are not located in restricted country or have sanctions on your name. And up to this point all sparse info that I’ve received in replies just says the opposite: it’s based on nationality, and not location, and not backed up by any documented sanctions or restrictions.
