This is my comments:
I would not call it simply 'conflict' even though that is indeed a more
neutral term that helps in many conversations. But also, calling it
anything else than plain 'war', might represent actually taking parts.
There are many other names given to it, and one can be even fined if not
abiding. I simply refuse that fine, so I call it a war.
In the 'disconnection methods' - one would add other aspects too:
- my anti-virus blocks access to some web sites. An anti-virus also
tells 'false positives'. That is all about disconnection.
- some web sites (including very high level of parts taking part in war)
are not even using CAs. Some CAs are not in browsers. That is
disconnection too.
- a sysadmin might disconnect a cable (PHY level) because of wanting to
have protection, because the risk of cyber attacks is so high these days.
- bombs might create disconnections.
In the 'Implications' of disconnection one should list this one:
- if AIEA does not have the radiation level at some war sites via
communication channels (typically over the Internet, I believe) then
population at large is at risk. The disconnection might lead to it, and
it is a criteria at AIEA. That is an information I repeat from them.

These are my pointers right now: news agencies display some times news
about Internet situation in Ukr-Rus space.
Then there are these mentioned on the ISOC Internet Policy email list
recently:
https://twitter.com/netblocks (but it seems twitter might be blockedin
Russia)

Sorry - I am not spamming.
I will not participate to this IETF meeting (neither online, nor
in-person) because of several reasons: risk of covid propagation, risk
of travel (the flightradar24 displays a big hole East of Europe which I
suspect it might have chances to impact the travel in Europe), and other
personal opinion.
Yours,
Alex

FYI, this draft proposes to document the considerations for regional
Internet blocking, a topic of increased interest in the last few weeks.
Comments and questions are most welcome.
Thanks,
Lenny

Abstract:
Geopolitical conflicts can cause policy makers to question whether or
not blocking the Internet connectivity for an opposing region is a
constructive tactic. This document provides an overview of the
various technologies that can be used to implement regional blocking
of Internet connectivity and discusses the implications of these
options. This document does not advocate any policy or given
blocking mechanism, but does attempt to articulate the implications
of these blocking technologies for policy makers. The document also
intends to help inform policy makers from countries who could be
exposed to such blocking techniques on the implications of these
methods.
