There was a now detailed comment in the GitHub thread reminding people that Haier "Europe" has an increasingly large manufacturing presence in Russia. Probably another good reason to avoid them.

The west of Russia is part of Europe, whether you like that or not - A lot of people in western Russia consider themselves europeans, and visiting it feels like any eastern european country for the most part. As for why manufacturing in Russia would be a bad thing, I'm not sure, but I'm assuming you're referring to sanctions.

Go shill somewhere else, troll.

Literally nobody has a problem with that. What many people don't like is Russia's government and the way it's behaved towards everyone around them, for a few centuries at this point.
