namecheap registrar stops working with clients from the Russian Federation

Just received a letter from the namecheap domain registrar that they are sorry, they have nothing personal, but they do not plan to work with clients from Russia anymore and ask to move until March 6th. Below is the text of the letter.

Hidden textUnfortunately, due to the Russian regime's war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine, we will no longer be providing services to users registered in Russia. While we sympathize that this war may not affect your own views or opinion on the matter, the fact is, your authoritarian government is committing human rights abuses and engaging in war crimes so this is a policy decision we have made and will stand by.

If you hold any top-level domains with us, we ask that you transfer them to another provider by March 6, 2022.

Additionally, and with immediate effect, you will no longer be able to use Namecheap Hosting, EasyWP, and Private Email with a domain provided by another registrar in zones .ru, .xn--p1ai (рф), .by, .xn- -90ais (white), and .su. All websites will resolve to 403 Forbidden, however, you can contact us to assist your transfer to another provider.

Well, the practical part of the news - where to run and what to do?
