On Feb 24, 2022, at 4:00 am, Russia started a war with Ukraine to take over a sovereign European country. On 28 Feb: 352 civilians died (16 kids) and 2040 are injured (45 kids). Ukraine needs military assistance, as its armed forces are much smaller than those of the Russian Federation. Unfortunately, the EU countries and NATO are afraid to help armed participation in the war, fearing Putin's threat to launch nuclear weapons. The international community, including the EU countries and the United States, is working to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
We ask Dropbox to join the sanctions against the global aggressor and restrict access for all users from Russia. Since this service is popular with Russians and is used to store and transfer information related to the unleashed world war and propaganda content files, as well as individuals and companies from Russia involved in the outbreak of war or participating in it.
Since the start of the war, all Russian banks are under sanctions, therefore, it is also necessary to delete all accounts that are paid with cards of Russian banks.
These measures may limit the activities of peaceful professionals from Russia. But now, when their colleagues and friends from Ukraine are being killed by the Russian military, we ask you to support global sanctions against Russian aggression that began in Ukraine.
War is aggression, destruction, and selfishness!

This won't be a sanction against Russian aggression. This is a boycott about only people who can change something.
This will restrict human rights organizations in Russia help people both in Russia and in Ukraine.
I am Russian and I am not opposing economic sanctions, even though my family has nothing to eat.
But boycotting fighters with the regime by limiting instruments, and then ask why Russians don't do anything?

Good day - I am still alive. Today I woke up at 6 AM because of loud boom. The 14 floor building was targeted with russian bomb or rocket while people were sleeping there, which is 10 mins walk from my house.
The advice: every time you hear the story about "good russians" - read the history of Ukraine book. Since the Golden Horde founded this s**t it destroys everything around them.
Of course you still have a chance to make the period of reparations and contributions shorter. The nation of slaves could make only famine revolutions (or as we call "hamburger revolution"). So, yes every business which does not want to go together with russian warship should stop any operation there. And Yes, the "special financial operation" (we do not call it sanctions) should be continued and become harder to stop destroying of Ukrainian cities and killing of Ukrainian people.
Still waiting the Dropbox to stop any work at the territory of aggressor.

Looks like dropbox supports Russia and you should know who supports global terrorism (

Information about imminent sanctions against Russian users slipped through the news resources. What specific sanctions will be applied to users on the territory of the Russian Federation and when? On the site, in the section on restricting access to DropBox from Crimea in 2014, it is said only about paid subscriptions. What will happen to the free Basik subscription for ordinary people outside of business and politics?

I agree that you should join the sanctions against Russia. This is a global terrorist.
