The logic isn't entirely ridiculous, rather it's the way they've went about applying it: They could very easily sign a russian and house him in the ukraine/ serbia (tons of players would love that I'd bet) but to them even the chance of that player travelling back to see family is probably too much. It's just humans overgeneralizing/ making things black and white when they shouldn't due to emotion, the same as everywhere else... Not that that's an excuse, mind you, but what can you do? If you said these things to their CEO he'd probably beat you half to death while screaming about how his family was in danger, he'd be so offended
