False Peace: In Melbourne, they painted a mural with Ukrainian and Russian soldiers who hugged

Journalist Olga Boychak, who reported an ambiguous art object, believes that the image offends Ukrainians because she equates them with aggressors. In the Australian city of Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, an unknown Mural with Ukrainian and Russian military. Olga Boychak, the editor of the Digital War magazine on Twitter. In the figure, two soldiers in different shapes hug, firmly clinging to each other against the background of the rainbow.

The artist pointed to the affiliation of the military, depicting the flags of Ukraine and Russia in chevrons. Olga Boychak considers such a picture abusive to all Ukrainians. "Russia's war in Ukraine is not a conflict between two peoples - it is an invasion. The fresco creates a sense of false equality between the victim and the aggressor," she wrote. According to the journalist, this approach is very dangerous because it implies that peace can be achieved if both sides make up weapons.

Similar images occur in Russia - artists specifically put Ukrainians and Russians in the same conditions. At the same time, there are works that show the horrors of war. "There will be no peace in Ukraine until the occupied territories and their population are released," Olga Boychuk emphasized. Earlier in the Obolon district of Kiev there was a touching mural about the liberation of Ukraine from the invaders.
