Melt it down and make a tank and thank Russia for their so called friendship!

Now is there a way to use the metal in munitions? As a token of their new found "friendship".

As the Russians prepare to line up for bread and drive Trabants again. 🤣

Good of Ukraine! It's about time! 🤗

Yeah. With friends like Russia, they don’t need enemies. Friendship with U.S.A. is better. We love Ukraine 🇺🇦

Kind of sad to see the friendship between two peoples with a long history utterly destroyed by Russia’s criminal behavior. When will Russians ever be welcome in Ukraine again? How will the many people with friends and family on the other side maintain those relationships? What will their conversations be like after this is over?

I remember Mosfilm (a film studio during the soviet times) would always have a symbol of man and a woman holding a hammar and a sickle in a similar manner to this statue here. Of course I never loved most russian films, but some were pretty enjoyable so I tend to hold the imagery with some place in my memory.

If that's a sword the statue is holding, it looks like something from a bad fighting anime.

US job is done. Friendship between two brothers destroyed, using Ukraine and Ukrainians as cannon fodder for American empire. Bravo
