U.S. Treasury prohibits the supply of software and IT services to Russians.

[Dixel]

Starting September the 12th, foreign services will cease operating in Russia due to U.S. Treasury sanctions prohibiting the supply of software and IT services to anyone in Russia.

If someone still thinks to supply software to a Russian/ Russian citizen, or consultant with the software usage, etc, be warned.

"SOFTWARE AND IT-RELATED SERVICES PROHIBITIONS

In coordination with the U.S. Department of Commerce and in line with G7 efforts to disrupt the Russian military-industrial base’s reliance on foreign IT systems, Treasury has taken steps to restrict the Russian military-industrial base’s access to certain software and IT-related services. To implement this policy, Treasury, in consultation with the Department of State, has issued a new determination under Executive Order (E.O.) 14071, which prohibits the supply to any person in the Russian Federation of (1) IT consultancy and design services; and (2) IT support services and cloud-based services for enterprise management software and design and manufacturing software. The determination will take effect on September 12, 2024. "

Regarding the very first three words  --  "Do you think"...

I think that polls/posts such as this should be "banned" on an INTERNATIONAL FORUM.

That's my opinion.  Some may like it.  Others may not.  I personally don't care who/whom falls into which category.

 What the US Treasury does is out of our European scope, hence the word "think", meaning we, (INTERNATIONAL members), can't influence the US treasury decision. You too need to accept it as a fact.

The reason for this topic is obvious.

Oh, and I kinda suspect why you don't vote.

Border line.  Walk right up to the line in the sand, toe as close as possible without crossing the line.  We all already know your views.  "Good luck with your poll", I shall be moving on to more important "issues".

And even you yourself hasn't "voted".  You probably will now, because I pointed it out.  "Dance, my little puppet."

Does it exist on any .com Technology web sites?  Or only on the .gov that you cited?

Regardless, don't care and moving on.  "Good luck with your poll."

What about my "views", and how do they matter? MSFN members from the US can't supply Russians with any form of software or IT services, starting from the 12th of September, what is so hard to understand?

In English, (if we are to assume you're from US, as your flag claims), it'd be "you yourself haven't voted", now you owe me 50 bucks for the English lesson, it's about 5000 in Russian Rublies.

Poll closed

1. There are already (legitimate) sanctions on Russia and other countries that already prevent these types of exports or services being provided. This began during the Obama administration.
2. This is an internal thing relating specifically to the Treasury Department and does not apply to any part of the government outside of that or to regular citizens. Executive Orders only apply to the Executive Branch of the government. No one is permitted to amend an EO except for the President, certainly not the Director of Foreign Assets Control, so it is quite possible that this is an illegal order in the first place. 
3. The topic is not technology related, the only thing posted were parts about government policy. The poll is completely political and unrelated to the topic. 

In the future, users should report political topics instead of trying to be moderators.
