I think a solidarity message in russian on the "About Sandboxie-Plus" window would be much better (in case @lufog is interested): https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/blob/5b21ae4ce9f5fa9cdfcc5a6785cd5a29b054ca9c/SandboxiePlus/SandMan/sandman_ru.ts#L1570

preferably put this "solidarity message" up front in the gui so everybody can see it, as we don't usually click on the "About Sandboxie-Plus"

Russian citizens are not the only people who speak Russian... I mean if Spain would invade Portugal, we would not remove Spanish, because of all the other not Spanish people still using Spanish, right?

According to this wikipedia map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language#/media/File:Russian_language_status_and_proficiency_in_the_World.svg there are a few other countries that have Russian as the official language or > 30% of its population speaks Russian, 2 of them even EU member states.

Also I don't think its a good idea to add contemporary messages to software, these get old quick, but software may be used for decades.

I am a Russian speaking Ukrainian. Many post-Soviet countries that are not part of Russia also use Russian in everyday life. I consider it wrong to remove the Russian language, or add any notifications, pop-ups and other things. Moreover, the Ukrainian translation of this program is based on the Russian translation, since all my mistakes and features, such as hot keys in brackets, have migrated to it.

In my opinion, open source is not a place for politics, and discrimination based on language, race, etc.
