Some have posted on their Facebook pages that martial law has been declared and all deliveries suspended for the duration.
Vendors such as HobbyTerra, Models.UA, Hobby.dn.ua, and Plastic Model Store are also affected.
Russian companies including Zvezda and Eastern Express will doubtless be affected as well.
SpaceRanger, thanks for posting this list. I don't want to down play the severity of this attack on the Ukraine but as this "war" continues Americans will be affected. It also tells us what manufacturers we should consider boycotting.

End of the road for all the Russian imports, no doubt.

Better get the kits you want while you can, boycotting them won't have any impact on the end result or deter him in anyway. It only harms the companies. Honestly, you're buying from someone not in eastern Europe most of the time, so you're harming them first. IMPO.

Brandon is right - a boycott will accomplish nothing positive. If there's something you've been thinking of buying from a Ukrainian or Russian company you may want to grab it now
Don't forget, there are a lot of ordinary people producing fantastic aftermarket stuff who just happen to be Russian. We don't know where any of them stand on the invasion, and we can be nearly 100% certain that none of them have any influence over what their government does. I'm currently avoiding updating a flight simulator I have that is made by a Russian company, but that's mostly just due to concerns about malware sneaking in with those updates in this current political climate. I will of course be buying lots of Ukrainian aftermarket stuff as well since it is also of excellent quality. Ordinary people on both sides of the conflict, and I agree that a boycott of modelling products won't accomplish anything positive.

This list is definitely helpful, I have been considering ordering some Ukrainian kits to express some solidarity.

Wow, I never realized how many companies came from this country.
Yes, I would think that there will be a shortage of items from this region this year.
There's probably a good chance what's in the supply chain right now might be the last of those items for forever if manufacturers are hit or cottage producers eliminated by warfare.
It's hard to imagine folks going to work to produce luxury items while their country struggles to survive.
Russian items might become as rare as they were under the Soviet Union.
I hope there is a quick and peaceful end to this conflict.
