Max,

Axel said that the RIPE NCC would accept documentation proving that an
entity exists from any country. Nothing more, nothing less.

By your logic, if an entity present in Russia would be present
documentation issued by the government of Luxembourg that the RIPE NCC
would accept, the RIPE NCC would also accept that Russia is now part of
Luxembourg.

I¹m sure the Grand Duke of Luxembourg would be thrilled to know that he
managed to annex Russia while he wasn¹t looking.
