100% instigated by that old Russian chucklefuck who ripped the Ukrainian flag down behind a Ukrainian dude in the middle of a picture being taken. Genuinely unsure what the Russian guy thought how that was gonna play out, because this was a pretty obvious outcome.

Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

He didn’t just rip the flag down, he tore it out of the Ukrainians hands.
Rare to see such a short time between the FA and FO portions of the equation.
Kremlin act respectable for 2 minutes challenge: impossible
