I find this to be good, because a small portion of the population wants war. The majority are protesting against the decision of the government. In such situation the entire population getting affected out of the sanctions from different organisations will ruin the life. But, there is now other way to end the war. However the decision will help the users who keep hold of cryptocurrency, but to move rubles it is quite hard as banking transaction support is very limited for now.

This does not belong to Bitcoin discussion. You should move it to Exchanges board

I mean, why should innocent Citizens suffer because of the indiscreet decisions of their rulers?
So far so good for Binance and some other exchanges, but there might be more to come with time if you read their terms and conditions, especially with Countries sanctioned by the US

For example, Binance says

It is just a right decision.Binance shouldnt really able to generalize and make out such decision on blocking russian users yet they have nothing to do with the war whats happening now.

It would really be just a childish act of their if they would really do so.It would really just give out bad impressions towards the platform instead.There should be no bias decisions

just because they live on on a country where their leader do really sucks. 

But they also said they are willing to freeze accounts of sanctioned users. CZ also said something about "why crypto exist" which I find funny since it's coming from an owner of a centralized exchange.

Stupid request of Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister to freeze even the accounts of ordinary users.

My thoughts too. Whatever your position is with the current conflict, I'm not one for punishing the people of a particular country, even if it's a way of getting through to the government. I'm actually disgusted by the amount of companies that are basically making this a PR stunt, banning Russia from x, y, and z just because it looks good on them in the West.

At the end of the day, you should be punishing those responsible, not the people. I suspect this is a good thing for Bitcoin, since a lot more people will want to be in control of their money, but it's pretty tragic that political pressure has caused this in the first place. Same as deporting, and banning Russia's from certain things, and competitions. While I understand it hurts Russia, it also hurts innocent people.

Hopefully, despite these exchanges acting in good faith, and not limiting users from their money, people start to think twice about storing any large funds on exchanges. Ideally, that would be the case already, however far too many Bitcoin users ignore this, and store it there anyway. I don't think it's even limited to users who only have a small amount of Bitcoin, which is the worrying part.

After all, it's the fundamental reason why Bitcoin exists, and a lot of people will argue that it's Bitcoin's most important feature. The ability to be in control of your own money, and security without relying on a third party. That's the ultimate definition of freedom, which I suspect after this conflict ends, a lot of people will be seeking as a result.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Why should Binance deprive the Russian people from having access to the better currency, especially during these times of conflict and uncertainty? I know that various sanctions in place are in effect ultimately hitting civilians in Russia, but some of them might be justified. To a certain extent, the Kremlin will have to realize that bringing unprovoked war into a sovereign country will have its consequences to the general public. And that's now being felt by ordinary Russians, many of whom might take refuge in keeping the value of their money in Bitcoin. They shouldn't be deprived of this haven while the Russian ruble is crumbling down.

So does coinbase and Kraken too.
But why would they block even? There are people in Russia who are opposing the move of Putin. This doesn’t make any sense to block any of the customers account unless they find a reasonable argument. I strongly support this move from the exchange to not block the accounts.

Politics is interfering with everything in our current lives, which is also seen as a concrete example of decentralization. According to an article I just read, many Ukrainians are struggling to find ways to get cash during this time. And the removal of regional accounts to avoid a sell-off of Russian shark whales is not particularly news.

Good action from Binance to protect their customers from Russia. It is good for cryptocurrency market too because be our own banks is what people look for with cryptocurrency. I know when you have account on Binance, you don't have a non-custodial wallet that means you don't have your own bank but at least, some sort of better than fiat currency and central banks.

By the way, I feel like Binance do this because they don't have branch in Russia. I could be wrong about it and still curious to figure it out.
