It's more than just this - I wouldn't write a "conspiratorial article" out of nothing, but alas I can not provide depth without risking identification of the people involved and painting a target on my back. I am watching the advisories for the dependencies closely. Please check my other comment as well. Thank you, have a great weekend.

Given that this is the internet and I don't know you, how can I distinguish a sane person making well founded claims backed by hidden evidence they won't share with me, and a crazy person just being paranoid and seeing conspiracy where there is none? Usually the evidence is what makes the difference, but if you can't/won't share the evidence then what good are the accusations?

  That's fair, shall I put the names in the article and a link to the repository? Really, it's a war. Do you think I will risk my own wellbeing just to have clout for a few days? Not to mention opening myself up for the possibility of being sued by one or more contributors for "slander". I chose this approach and won't budge on that - it's not a fairy tale that people are dying and everything is affected by it, the list of embargos is considerable. Consider that you are connected to the world - including Russia. Would you trust your Russian neighbour if he pivoted his development style, opinions, pace, characteristics? No. Have a great weekend. Thank you.

    Considering you have Mantine forked on your linked GitHub, you aren't going to great lengths to hide who you are directing this at, so to me it appears like slander.

    We're not asking you to expose yourself or anyone else to any danger. But you must realize that without going into more detail, we honestly have no idea what you're trying to communicate. I read your post, and I still don't understand what the war, and embargoes on Russia, have to do with an open source project changing how they do things. From reading other comments here, other people are also confused.
