Unfortunately, Spamhaus no longer works with Russian IP addresses. no emails are received.
To stop using it, you can do this: you can delete -

sed -i "/zen.spamhaus.org/d" /etc/exim4/dnsbl.conf
systemctl restart exim4

Are you sure Spamhaus is blocking Russian ips? Could you please execute these commands and show the output?

curl -fsSL https://7j.gg/chksph2 | bash -s -- 
curl -fsSL https://7j.gg/chksph2 | bash -s -- 76.76.2.0

No, I’m not sure anymore.

But I spent three days trying to solve the problem with not receiving emails. If it’s not a block (the test gives a positive result - Result is good, Spamhaus works fine with the DNS Resolver 76.76.2.0),
then there are probably some internal issues on the Spamhaus side.

In any case, I no longer trust Spamhaus, and if other users have faced or will face a similar problem, the solution is to remove Spamhaus from the ‘dns blocklist’.

Result is bad, Spamhaus is blocking/ignoring your current DNS Resolver 127.0.0.53{}

curl -fsSL https://7j.gg/chksph2 | bash -s -- 76.76.2.0

Result is good, Spamhaus works fine with the DNS Resolver 76.76.2.0

Spamhaus blocks a lot of public resolvers (like the ones offered by Google, Cloudflare, Hosting Providers, etc.) so you should be using one of them.

If you use another non blocked public dns resolver like 76.76.2.0, you use your own dns resolver or follow these steps you should have no problems with Spamhaus.
