      Best guess it’s Ukraine. There’s been a trend of portraying Ukraine as a pig in recent memes. Not entirely sure why, possibly due to lard

        I think I heard somewhere it’s cuz Ukrainians eat a lot of pork, so they became stereotyped as pigs (by Russians).

      Well historically the bourgeoisie are represented as pigs but that doesn’t quite make sense in an obvious way. It is curious and one has to wonder what the meaning is or if it was just a randomly chosen animal.

        It’s Ukraine, i see that a lot of times already in russian carricatures and this clearly is a russian carricature.

          Ah! Now that makes sense. Captive, sad. A picture of it on the wall to symbolize the west’s token “thinking/caring about Ukraine”.

          And the two shovels, some symbolism there for two countries digging their own graves I wonder.
