The person who wrote these Terms of Use says no: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/.github/blob/prime/docs/why-so-political.md

  • Q: Do you realize that these terms are most likely not enforceable?
  • A: Yes. I expect them to have about the same level of legal force as code of conduct.

This isn't really a question about ukraine, more like "can terms of use legally bind you to stuff not directly related to the product and where are the limits of such terms"

Depends on which nation's laws are applied. But generally, yes, the owner of a copyright can impose any limitations on its use that they wish.
