Context: I use Kubernetes's go client, which eventually relies on github.com/mailru/easyjson

This is maintained by Mail.ru which is eventually owned by Gazprom Media which is subject to EU and USA sanctions.

Can that library continue to be used commercially given it's under MIT license or is it subject to sanctions?

Obligatory, I am not a lawyer and very confused.
