I agree and I think that the best support is to offer a neutral and complete information against any kind of propaganda.
This is what Wikimedia can do better.
Kind regards

Thanks for your support! The best "sanctions" WMF can implement is raising awareness about the whole situation. For example, the promotion of Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2022 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ukraine%27s_Cultural_Diplomacy_Month_2022 . About Russian Wikipedia: unfortunately, most likely it will get banned in the Federation. More than 70 Russian Wikipedians wrote open letter to us on our village pump https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%96%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%96%D1%8F:%D0%9A%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BF%D0%B0_(%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B5)#%D0%9D%D1%96_%D0%B2%D1%96%D0%B9%D0%BD%D1%96! where they condemned the invasion, so WMF might support people who signed this letter legally because of possible threats.

I wonder if a banner raising awareness regarding the existence of offline apps specifically Kiwix for when communication goes down would be useful?

+1 on the "what can we all do to help?" question. On the VPN topic, I suspect the functionary teams will be pretty open to granting IPBE for folks editing from that region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption#Used_for_anonymou... has details if anyone needs it.
