This is your issue. MakeMKV needs Internet access to download the hashed keys. Ensure you have allowed internet access in preferences and that your system is not geo blocking Russia as that's where the keys are hosted. Usually, running MakeMKV through a VPN helps with this.

Thank you very much for your advise. I have allowed internet access in preferences, but Russia may be blocked. May be you can advise me VPN for work with Russia?

Use whatever VPN you want. Just select a country that works. You may need to try a couple.
