I read your original post again and have the same thoughts.
You are making a lot of drama calling the “why me” argument while in reality it’s not all about you. It’s not because of your nationality, it’s not only you who is effected from Belarus and it’s not only Belarus.
Btw, there are many people from all over the world who currently can’t publish or earn because of the publishing bug, if you are not aware. Possibly even no one can publish who did’t have prior publishing rights. And we have raised that issue but I haven’t seen anyone going to such lengths how he/she can’t publish but is oh so talented and gow the world is in such a loss w/o their contribution.
I understand your issue and support your initiative, but you are making it all sound like you are the queen of drama.
