searx.be and results in Russian?

Been using searx.be for a bit now and they had many results in Dutch and German, which can be expected for a site based in Belgium. But does anyone notice an influx of results in Russian? Did they change the server location or are users in Russia catching on to it? Yandex isn’t toggled on in the settings either.

Not trying to judge security by language. I just kinda liked having results in a mix of languages I could read.

I experienced the same problem and the workaround was to select English from the Default Language dropdown menu (after performing a search). I switched to another instance anyway.
