Why these countries in particular? I guess it's about having oppressive/authoritarian regimes and being in Europe, but why to restrict it that way?

Edit: or perhaps it's because of the war, but Hungary doesn't seem to be involved as much. Though maybe I missed something there.

List is longer, copy was outdated.

It's more like a principle question than anything else—we know it won't make a dent in the world, but we aren't comfortable providing service for countries that openly pro-war.

Wait, is this just a fad now? People just implementing security measures to specifically deny access from those countries, even for completely innocent services?

Seems to be so: in the past year I encountered notably more seemingly geoip-caused HTTP 403 errors than previously, often with CloudFront or Cloudflare, but usually they don't provide a list of blacklisted countries like that. It's rather surprising to see Hungary there, but not NK and Iran, assuming it's just political (and not a response to some attacks, or has to do with some legal issues).
