Is Lockbit a Russian Group?

The general consensus is that Lockbit is a Russian group or Eastern European group. It could also be that the person behinds the chat is just kind of like one of those support chat folks, you know, like maybe they're outsourced. The other aspect is he talks about his internet speed being 50 kilobits per second and that only sending files between 50 and 100 megabytes at most.
