    (...)

    According to a statement published on the current German language
    Wikipedia site about OnlyOffice
    (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice), this surprises a lot! Not
    because of the code quality, but because of the current political
    affairs. More and more other public entities do go for Linux, but to my knowledge are not opting for OnlyOffice. This is the first time I hear
    about OnlyOffice having been chosen to become part of such public entity project.

    Translation of the relevant paragraph of the Wikipedia article by
    Deepl.com :
    "The ONLYOFFICE project was developed by the company Ascensio System SIA
    in Russia, but the IT company is based in Riga, Latvia, where it is majority-owned by Russians and subject to the European sanctions regime
    against Russia."
