        That doesn’t mean the servers are physically located in Russia. It just means they are controlled by an organisation that considers Russia their primary country.

        It doesn’t ‘resolve’ to Russia. The IP was allocated to yandex who’s record for that block is listed in Russia. Any IP addres in that /24 can literally be used anywhere in their infrastructure anywhere in the world.

        I have a VPS for example that RIPE shows is allocated to a company in Germany but the physical server sits in a datacenter on the west coast of the US.

        I’m sure they have sufficient infrastructure to route elsewhere if Russian servers are inaccessible. I doubt anyway that servers in the rest of the world are typically served from Russia since that would be inefficient.
