I don't think you do.
Even if a project stays neutral on most topics does not mean there is not a threshold where joining
a wide-spread appeal or sign of solidarity is the right thing to do.
The question where you set that threshold is a different question.
Personally I'd support a banner on the website but won't hold it against people who think
otherwise.
Disclosure: I'm Swiss, and even (in)famously off-hands Switzerland decided to join sanctions in
this case ;-)
