Are .ru sites safe?

I'm not tech savvy and have noticed that many streaming sites are .ru, and as someone located in Finland, I want to make sure if they are dangerous to use.

It is the same question as "What are trustworthy countries" imo

That's my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don't trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it's good.

I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.
