Would you mind explaining why you added the sunflower emoji? I googled it and it’s their national flower, but what’s the purpose of putting it in comments?
I may be wrong about the intention, but early in the invasion an older Ukrainian lady approached some Russian soldiers, harrangued them about being where they weren’t wanted and gave them some sunflower seeds to put in their pockets so their bodies would fertilise the soil after they die.
