Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to restrict this activity geographically rather than based on accounts’ language?

What would be the geographic restrictions though?

“In ukraine”? Russian troops might be located there, also VPNs, and non-GPS geolocation is not exactly reliable (at least in my european experience where I’m essentially never geolocalised correctly and the subsequent localisation is always incorrect, any location within a few hundred miles of a border is a crapshoot).

“Out of ukraine or russia” would be trivially bypassed via a vpn as well.

No you misunderstand -- disable contributions where the contribution itself is located anywhere on the map in Ukraine. No VPN concerns there...
