    I don't think there is any legal means to get Animate from Russia at the moment and sadly a lot of companies and services have taken the same approach. If you ask me this is all banal corporate posturing and I don't agree with it.

    You could try Opentoonz and Blender as alternatives.

     

    Best of luck.

    It may not be posturing, Mario.

    Embargoes are legally enforced on businesses when a country's parliament/government decides to impose such policy. In such a case all companies within the jurisdiction have to comply.

    if you can safely encourage your president to stop the ukraine invasion, do so.  and wait.
