Hello @BonKoo ,
Welcome to Microsoft QnA.
This issue is related with gaming and the network in Russia. I am sharing what I have found.
I researched and found that previously also we have seen Russian players reporting that for testing multiplayer games, Russian testers aren't able to connect to the servers in Europe, whereas other testers who are outside Russia can connect to the servers. We think it to be an issue with the network in Russia, as the network packets are seen being not received by the servers in Europe (in your case Netherlands).
I found out that this is not specific to just Azure, but servers which are not part of Azure as well.
Hope that helps. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional queries. Thank you :)
