Can't gift from Ukraine to Estonia?

[Roswell42]

"Purchases made in Ukraine can only be added to your library if you are in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine or Russian Federation."
Does it mean I can't gift a game to someone who resides in Estonia? Are you kidding me? Most of those countries mentioned above are in the fascist russian alliance.

ye that's probably why, with the war going on and what not it's made things online extremely complicated on top of the other obvious things, im no expert on this stuff but ye it's probably just because of the war, sorry bro

the mentioned countries are associated with a historical and current financial region known as:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Independent_States (CIS)

CIS countries have a separately defined USD price on Steam.
Kazakhstan and Ukraine have support for their own currency on Steam, though they still are CIS countries for activation restrictions, namely "CIS lock". so you can only gift to people in a CIS country.

Estonia has EUR pricing on Steam because they are full EU member.

other thing:
you also can only gift to about 10% converted price difference.

even without the CIS lock, you would not be able to gift anything to an EU country because EUR pricing is generally double the price than you pay.
the ability to gift a product to someone else always depends on the product and the involved store countries of sender and recipient.
