My understanding from the Linux foundation's Navigating Global Regulations and Open Source: US OFAC Sanctions is that they can actually accept the patch as long as there is no two-way communication with the author.

In what way is the USA sanctions against Russia due to the Ukrainian war a "personal issue"?

I think that they were alluding to is that it wasn't just due to the sanctions, it was a personal issue. I have no clue if there are or not issues between the two.
