This is just a post venting about the permanent NATO propaganda around here.
I just walked past 4 giant screens at a train station that all showed the same story about a Ukrainian saying his friend had been arrested by Russians for having “Ukrainian” tattoos. Couldn’t help but think of this because of that wording lol. They used to at least show different things on every screen so the dystopian imagery wasn’t quite so on the nose but I guess we’re past that
I suspect it’s a twisted report of a case where some people were reported to have the Ukrainian trident insignia tattoos. One case was in my city - a bloke got summoned for mobilization, but turned out to have the trident tattoo (reportedly because his family is from Odessa) and turned down from mobilization. That’s it. Not arrested, not jailed - just turned away and returned home.
Thank you so much for providing some context! If that’s a recent thing it absolutely might have been a butchered version of what you described.
