What domain zone to choose for the CIS?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Good afternoon, it is planned that the site will be focused on 4 countries: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan (each country has its own section with content). The language is exclusively Russian and it is unlikely that localization will be made for these countries.
And actually the question is, which domain zone to choose for this site? On the one hand, the site is focused specifically on these 4 countries and it will not be entirely correct to take a domain name in the ru zone, but on the other hand, judging by the statistics of requests, there will be ~ 10% of visitors from the last 3 countries. Then maybe you shouldn't bother with them? In addition, I'm afraid that in pursuit of two rabbits, or rather four, I can lose a large part of the audience from Russia. Indeed, in Runet, the ru zone occupies a dominant position and all users associate the domain name with it, moreover, it is possible that Yandex will be less favorable to a domain not in the ru zone.

Answer 1

I think you should not freeze so much about domains, and take either a universal .com or a regular .ru . The main content / product / price, the domain is not important for search engines, even though .blabla

Answer 2

org, com, net

Answer 3

Для СНГ .ru нормально подходит.
