If anyone is looking for an alternative provider: I have been using Gandi (gandi.net) for years. Zero complains so far.

Could be risky with current events; what if Russia seized the company?

I mean you can never predict these things fully, so be ready to move domain registrars or even domain names if you ever need to. Another example, UK residents or businesses that had a .eu domain name were no longer allowed to have it post-brexit.

Namecheap has a large Ukrainian workforce but is incorporated in the US and also has employees in many other locations around the world. The company cannot be seized by Russia, and I trust them to take appropriate measures to lock out their Ukrainian offices if the cities fall. In the meantime, I'll stick with Namecheap precisely because they employ a lot of Ukrainians.
