What do you mean by "Russian" access? From Russia? By people with Russian passport? By employees of Russian company? What if I live in Kazahstan and want to use Yandex.Cloud datacenter located there: https://yandex.cloud/en/docs/troubleshooting/business/how-to...?
Russian geological access or businesses with strong ties to Russia or suspected strong ties to Russia. Every other detail is to be decided by the governing body of the project, which in this case has happened.
Sorry, but I still don't see a point in your message, how it is related to cloud config files that are in the repo.
