Honestly a very harmful sort of "doing something about it". As if deleting someone's (presumably, normal people) files will make them more understanding of the difficulties in the ongoing conflict. Lying about it is also petty, as seen below. Malicious software is malicious regardless of any intentions and should be prosecuted as such. And if one really feels obliged to make their part as they wish, there's many examples of relatively harmless ways to do so, for example Notepad++ used to open a new tab with text inside, that is not particularly harmful.

>It is documented what it does and only writes a file if it does not exist. You are free to lock your dependency to a version that does not include this until something happens with the war, like it turns into WWIII and more of us wish that we had done something about it, or ends and this gets removed.

At this point any damage to the Russian economy translates to Ukranian lives saved.

Really? How do you save lives but deleting the average Dmitry's personal computer files? Maybe they were even working on a popular open source product as many average Russians tend to do.

You should re-evaluate your simplistic mindset

Causing tens or hundreds of thousands of wasted hours by (relatively) high-earning software developers in Russia (who average about 20k USD a year, or $11/hour) is only, generously, a few million dollars USD in "damages".

To clarify, not refuting your point. Just providing napkin math that I agree it doesn't do much.
