I will also add that the distance between Stockholm and Frankfurt, although insignificant, is that Sweden is better connected with Russia than with Germany. When I was still living in Russia, my games on Faceit showed much lower latency on servers in Sweden than in Germany and other countries

Distance between Frankfurt and Stockholm is not that significant. The problem is that Russia is 9000 km in length. So while from Moscow you will have 30-60 ms to any city in Europe, in Vladivostok its gonna be up to 200+.
This is true, but it is worth clarifying that we are talking more about players from Siberia than the Far East of Russia. The East of Russia is connected to Korean and Japanese servers.
I think Valve's solution looks pretty good since they actually put servers on both sides of Russia (Stockholm, Japan and Korea).
In DBD, the servers are located in such a way that there are Korea and Japan (Asia region), but the server on the other side is very far from Russia (Frankfurt), which is why players in the middle of Russia are faced with the problem that both servers are far away. I believe that the server from Stockholm will be able to reduce the ping by about 20-30 for this group of players
It's worth adding that I'm from Kazakhstan and my ping to Frankfurt is 120 or something like this. I checked latency on AWS Cloud Ping (didn't find GameLift) and my latency to Stockholm was 90
