Going by their Mastodon account, seems they were erroneously detected as “from a US-sanctioned region” and it took too long for said error to be resolved, so they just made the switch.
The developer team fully consist of russian citizens
I dont think thats correct. Do you have a source? The predecessor that it was forked from maps.me maybe, but the current dev team has nothing to do with that project anymore.
The only person on this list that lives in Russia is Alexey Naumenko. So what are you yappin about?
So far i also cant see that name on the new member list https://git.omaps.dev/org/organicmaps/members
mapsme: founded by Yury Melnichek, later joined by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako
organicmaps: founded by Roman Tsisyk (completely unrelated to mapsme) and later joined by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako
So the founders are not the same, but some devs from the old project joined organic maps.
Not really nice of you to edit the message after it was replied to.

Changing your github profile location does not mean neither factual relocation, nor changing citizenship.
Then where are you getting 6-7 from? Those people could be Polish or Ukrainian or born somewhere completely different. They could have moved, changed citizenship, whatever. I dont know. You dont know.

“US sanctioned region” is russia. The developer team fully consist of russian citizens, some of them are still in russia.
Aren’t they now based in Estonia since when the company was established?

De jure is what’s good enough for me. I am not interested in vindicating ordinary Russians for something they couldn’t even vote for.
