Hi. I found that some legitimate sites were blocked. www.rt.com:

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

Hello Turgut @tkalfaoglu thank you for this.

We have talked about the domain rt.com here before, several times and also here and, as you can see, this is not going to change.

As for Sputnik News, I refer you to this extensively sourced and footnoted Wikipedia article. In particular, please read paragraph 2, which I am reproducing here (below).

Frankly, I feel personally insulted that you would think, for even one second, that I would buy-in to this "legitimate site" nonsense.

I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 and you and your puppet master can go fuck yourselves.
