Option to block players with a standard Russian flag (please read the explanation!)

I have never seen so bad idea before. This literally discriminates Russian people.

Russia is still a country, and it still has citizens. They probably just want to show their nationality. Showing the Russian White-Blue-Red flag does not necessarily mean they are a pro-war person.
Besides, how is taking down the flag going to do anything? It is still a country, whether people like it or not.

I respect your opinion, but I don’t think Lichess is going to do much about it. They have already made a blog post on this war topic. https://lichess.org/blog/Yie1MhIAACAAk6OQ/lichess-statement-on-the-war-in-ukraine

I also first opted for removal of russian flag, but Lichess decided on the opposite with a respectable reason
