I registered it about 40 minutes ago, but it seems the DNS has been cached by everyone as a result of the wikipedia hack & not even the NS is propagating. Can't get an SSL certificate .

Namecheap won’t sell it which is great because it made me pause and wonder whether it's legal for an American to send Russians money for a TLD.

I'm half-tempted to try and claim it myself for fun and profit, but I think I'll leave it for someone else.

What should we put there, anyway?

It means giving money to the Russian government, so no.

If anyone from the Russian government is reading this, get the fuck out of Ukraine. Thank you.
