There's nothing subtle about wiping files, why not provide news and information that's being blocked? This could have been an information bridge that would be hard to censor. Hell, run a crypto miner on their machine and donate to Ukraine if you're trying help, that'll have more of an impact then wiping some poor dev's files.
