This makes global news and puts real pressure on the International Esports Federation — the group actually capable of policing the bullies — to do their job.

This sucks, but is absolutely the correct play by the Ukrainian team.

Explain to me how the International Esports Federation is capable of policing the Russian government

By continuing to deny the regular Russian people the ability to participate in world events, sooner or later they start to question why and go looking for answers. Then you get a change in government.
