This avatar appears to be of an ethnicity that does not represent the majority of Ukrainians. Which I think it should have been, since the messages are supposed to come from the government of Ukraine, I.e. its people (assuming they are still a democracy after banning of opposition parties). Is this an attempt at appease the liberal ideologies of their supporters? If this is a sign of things to come, I would warn the Ukrainians to think twice about joining “the West”. Perhaps it’s too late though.
