There are many institutions waiving fees for Ukranians, I was thinking if VPN companies offered free access (maybe with limited hundred kb/s, and things like no torrenting) to Russian IPs, it would be an interesting move to fight Putin's information war.

Excellent idea.

Somebody with tech skills should set up a service of this kind: Buy a (limited, no porn etc) VPN connection for somebody in Russia.

Those with know-how and/or interest in such a service aren’t the intended target audience to achieve fundamental political change.

The intended target audience lives in a tight state controlled information echo-chamber, and they have no intention in leaving it.
