This has already been established with Ukraine.

It’s weird there and seems to be running now.

Though Russian troops have been pictured with it too.

If the device is in Ukraine, how would it distinguish between russians or ukranians using it in the same country?

A government may introduce a list of identifiers of devices allowed to operate in their territory. With relatively frequent verification to prevent the use of captured devices.
