Could this be a subtle message and a dig at Putin?:

All that could have been avoided had the West reacted as strongly as it is doing now back in 2014 when Putin seized Crimea by force. Putin would have learned that his actions have consequences and that any further attempt to attack, subvert of destabilise the Ukraine would lead to Russia's ruin and turning into a pariah state. But our politicians as usual, chose the easy way out, appease and let live and now the results are obvious. Putin learned form Hitler, Stalin and Mao that rash actions and aggression can pay off with passive democracies.
Nevertheless the Ukraine and its people will prevail but they will pay the full price in blood and ruins for the West cowardice and passivity.
Glory to the Ukrainian heroes!

It's hard to believe that they would not be aware that they are wearing the national colours of the Ukraine? All of them at the same time and given the circumstances it looks to me like they are stating their opposition to this war. Hard to believe it's a coincidence!

Totally agree, two weak American Presidents caused this to unravel quickly. Putin only understands power and firmness.

Could the Ukrainian forces launch another Kharkiv 1942 offensive, eventually encircling Russian forces besieging Kharkiv? Giving Graviteam material for another war sim once the war is over?Kharkiv 2022 Ukrainian Fury.
Go Ukraine!!

I suspect their Russophile instincts will have evaporated along with their houses and possessions. Half of Graviteam were Ukrainians the Russians among them I suspect have no more love for Mother Russia these days....
