Hi Zomb,

Thanks for the report.  This is known, and one possible work-around is 
to use a VPN, or Tor: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54370#13

I've merged these two bug reports.

As for the block itself, it was a conscious decision but not one made 
directly by the Guix maintainers.  The institute hosting the servers 
blocked Russian IP addresses after an increase in suspicious network 
activity.  As you say, probably due to ‘the recent events’.

Kind regards,

T G-R
