Just factually wrong. Russian maintainers were removed from their positions. They are still allowed to contribute, but they'll have to get a non-Russian maintainer to sign off on it. This removes "FSB coerces Russian maintainer into signing off on malware" as an attack vector, while having the minimum possible impact on Russian contributors whose code will be checked for correctness like anyone else's.
