Disgusting behaviour... If you don't want to loose money on a moral basis, fine. But don't lie about being benevolent.

Surprise, surprise, you can still buy Acer peripherals in Russia in every shop. Not only Acer, but any other pre-war brand supplying Russian citizens with PC parts, phones, laptops, etc.
