I can see how it would make more sense for them, but it's still a stupid move for a few reasons pointed out in those comments. Either way, they will have a new Russian-friendly neighbor soon. It will be nice if GOG can survive. If they don't they only have themselves to blame.
Here's the Gaming post about this.

GOG will survive. There's plenty out there that just don't give a shit anymore.
The neighbour will be wrecked by forever insurgency unless they really pull the Red Terror (again).
It's just nonsensical. They should announce that all sales from Russia will go to the Ukrainian Red Cross or whatever.
...okay, I just realized they can't just sell games with active copyrights like that.
They could announce that their cut will go to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
Oh, that would work.
Can't they? OK, maybe there's some legal rationale that they can't do it directly, but there's nothing stopping GoG from saying :
Hmmm, ok, this past week we got $XXXX.XX in revenue from Russian sales. We are now choosing to make a donation to Ukranian Red Cross for $XXXX.XX
Yeah, yeah.
