“We temporarily suspended Alexei’s activities on behalf of Ripe NCC, while trying to clarify the situation. Our efforts on interaction, among other things, are aimed at eliminating the gap in knowledge between the technical community and the governments, regulators and law enforcement agencies. As a neutral organization, we strive to work with all interested parties in our region to support the stability of the Internet, including in Russia, ”said the representative of the managing director of Ripe NCC Hans Petra Hollen.
