Do you have some sort of link where interested people can go and validate this and validate it in detail?

I'd like to see the official source for this.

According to the list of SRR branches list https://srr.ru/1680-2/ there is no Lugansk or other SRR branch on the annexed Ukrainian territories except Crimea and Sevastopol whose DXCC status was defined in 2014. So those new callsigns are the same junk as D0/D1. My JTDX filters are cutting them efficiently Will follow the news, UARL was informed for official response.

It's best to avoid any QSO with UA and R prefixes altogether.

Is it technically any difference than the USA T callsigns from Iraq or Afgan?

Not making a political statement with that question.

 I assume you don't work German stations either. After all, over 112,000 of your countryman were killed by them in WWII.

I don't work any G stations since we fought 2 wars against them.
I don't work any W4 or W5 stations due to the Civil War.
I don't work stations from XE or EA because we fought wars against them.
I don't work stations from DL, HA, OE, TA, LZ, 9A, S5 or E7 because they were part of the Central Powers in WW.
I don't work stations from I, JA, DL, HA, YO, 9A, LZ because they were part of the Axis in WWII.
I don't work stations from P5 and BY due to the Korean War.
I don't work stations from XV due to Vietnam War.
I don't work stations from YI due to the invasion of Kuwait.

Virtual signaling has made my DXing so much easier!  Lots less to have to compete for !

You forgot the Belgians for killing, raping and mutilating hundreds of thousands in the Congo !
And the Dutch for what happened in the Dutch East Indies. (Nederlands Indïe)
And all the Americans for the 50 or so wars/military interventions they've actively 'participated' in.
