KyivPride uses drone to hang rainbow flag from Motherland Statue

A Kiev based LGBT group used a drone to lift a rainbow flag up behind the stainless steel Motherland Statue, making it appear as if the flag was hanging from the sword. They faced tremendous backlash both online and off. Most individuals were particularly enraged that the stunt was done just before June 22, the day that signifies the first bombings by the Luftwaffe.
