Dear Iggy Baley,

there are lot of mappers from both Ukraine and Russia in OpenStreetMap, and all of us together - Ukrainians and Russians - are trying to make the best map. Russia’s war against Ukraine does not make this any easier but we have found compromises in OSM that let us continue our work even in the face of hostilities. We don’t need a first time mapper to barge in and try to import hate and war from the real world into OSM. Please don’t edit any boundaries in the region.

Best regards
Frederik Ramm
