Thinking realistically — it's not going to stop. And yea, I'm pretty sure it's either due to government intervention or that they're taking extra safety precautions because they expect the government to interfere.

You mean think very, very cynically--and to be honest I'm not even sure at this point what the difference is between being cynical and being realistic, what with all the BS politicians and the media get away with.

I'm not familiar with Wasabi (though I've heard the name before) or coinjoin. Is Wasabi a centralized wallet, like a web wallet? And I'm assuming coinjoin is a feature they offer. In any case, there could indeed be pressure from a government agency or it could just be them being proactive, anticipating that sooner or later they'll fall smack dab in the center of the microscope slide.

I'm not saying Russia has any grounds for invading Ukraine, but when I watch the news (any news from any station), they're not-so-subtly giving everyone the hint that there's only one way to think about this situation. And what do you know? I just saw there's a series from 2019 being promoted (The Last Czar) which is apparently all about Russia's history of autocracy/dictatorship/whatever. That's got to be a coincidence, I'm sure.
