Today, world wide telecommunications leader Cogent has complety canceled, 
terminated, dissolved, and disconnected all circuits, links, and operator 
premises equipment serving their customers in Russian Federation.

There was less than 2 days notice of the fact.

The law of its jurisdiction, United States, did not compel it to this drastic 
action, as no sanctions has been levied against telecom operators in Russia yet 
(ok, perhaps couple of State Duma parliamentary members owns an ISP - although 
I highly doubt that.)

During the undeclared war, Ukrainian National railway operator, Ukrzaliznytsya, 
has terminated all interconnect points with RZhD, Russian railways. They did so 
to inhibit a flow of weapons and military, and carry neither insignia nor flags.

I would like to remind our community of our meeting in Minsk.  Would you go 
there now? There are missiles shot, southward from it.

The purpose of ENOG was the same of my favorite company, Nokia, whose slogan 
was “connecting people.”  We cannot do it until the bloodshed stops, the 
criminal regime of Russia goes to trial in The Hague, and the complicit in war 
crime population of Russia goes through the process of deputinization. [1]

I am using this opportunity to resign from ENOG PC.  I can be last member that 
went to most meetings, and was still hoping for good.  Until now.  I have ENOG 
logos on my credit cards.

The RIPE community can definitely decide to resurrect the ENOG, perhaps in this 
way: to join some countries with SEE, and some with MENOG.  I would not join 
until this war ends.
