Andy, Personally, I am sorry for your situation. And sorry that you are harmed right now. Is it not possible for you to operate using the Ukrainian callsign? I think that I would have worded the CQ a
If its illegal to use the Ukraine call sign and the DXCC hasn't recognized yet that its Russia, then I don't see a way in any rules out there from CQ or ARRL that the entry can count. So no, I am not
