Unduly paused because of aborting games with Russians

The only way one could know he is playing russian is when the person deliberately choose to present russian flag. And by doing this they automatically show a support to russia and its actions.
There are alternatives: not to show flag at all, or there is an "alternative" russian flag - but some people willingly choose a symbol of aggression. No wonder not everyone feels ok to play such people pretending that nothing is happening. As mentioned in #3 FIDE did ban russian flag, but lichess did not, so users are kinda forced to play war supporters or get sanctioned otherwise.

> People can criticize Kremlin and their war in Ukraine in a civilized way

russia's and russians' war you meant of course. And it is sometimes difficult to "criticize smth in civilized way" when russian war criminals shell civilian cities in aggressive war. We are not talking about "politics". Your proposition is like to criticize in civilized way nazis with their concentration camps of death - possibly their decisions and actions were suboptimal I guess, right?
