A political cartoon or a 'meme'? Ukraine's official handle (Yes, you read that right) posting a tweet bringing Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin together after Russia's sudden invasion of the country is dividing twitter.
Was it appropriate for the handle to post such content when a nation was waging war against them? Denizens of Social media couldn't help but ask.
The decision of Ukraine's official account to take on Russia in a different battlefield, Social Media, was triggered by a caricature that they posted which shows Nazi leader Adolf Hitler affectionately looking down upon Russian President Vladimir Putin and patting the latter's cheek.
The picture was posted without any context, only to be picked up by online advocates to discuss in the court of social media.
As the post garnered more replies, the official creators of the post clarified saying it is not a 'meme', but their reality right now.
Here are some of the reactions to the post by Ukraine:
Well, the caricature was just a tip of the iceberg. With '#RussiaInvadedUkraine' hashtag, Ukraine has started a social (media) movement to assemble all the forces against Russia online and whip up what they termed a 'Twitter-storm.'
Despite the harsh reactions pouring in from across the world and global leaders condemning the attacks, Russia seems undeterred by any of the developments.
Around 40 Ukrainian soldiers and 10 civilians are already believed to have been killed so far in the war.
