    Oh! Saw a small group of Ukraine flag wavers months ago and one of them was repping the red and black.

    Also, “Ukrainian red blood spilled on Ukrainian black earth” low-key sounds like “blood and soil” 😬

      Almost as if that’s exactly what it is

          Of course they will. Anything to prevent facing reality and admit being wrong

            “You see, black earth is a metaphor for the historical othering of Africa by white Europeans, and blood is metaphor for the slave trade. The Ukrainians are actually showing solidarity with people of color in the global south, and bravely telling us that Uighurs, African-Americans, and the free people of Ukraine are all united in a single struggle against prejudice and colonial oppression.” – Salon or the New York Times in about three weeks
