That is none of their business. In general, leaders of FOSS
organizations are more aware and conscious of human rights. So they
are already saying it, but not in front or in the name of their
organizations. This has been already said many times.

Organizations also consists of Russians, people have divided
opinions. 

You don't want to destroy organization for reasons of private
individual opinions being misunderstood as statement of the
organization.

It is little late, but never late, though the whole world had to raise
awareness of what was going on inside of Ukraine, and about the actual
conflict, and to help in time; we did not help in time.
