EDIT: These images were released by the US yesterday as a catalog of US Defense attache Col. Stewart's activities in Ukraine. This is fresh slop.

    Ooo that's good. I should probably use dotted lines in any future one I make. I considered lines but chose not to as the number of lines would have been a mess and blocked parts of images but these dotted lines would be much less intrusive. I can learn from this.

    Just want to say that the connection between the left arm patch and the Right Sector is incorrect though. That patch is just the Ukrainian coat of arms. It's not Right Sector without the red/black colour scheme which is a reference to the groups during Stepan Bandera's time. Unfortunately the group Right Sector are just coopting a Ukrainian historic symbol. This is why I focused on the picture of her saluting the grave of the Right Sector member instead to draw that link as he was very clearly a member, it's on his wiki page.

    I've spent the last few days learning a lot about this. Very interesting. Ukraine is much more fash than I ever thought, institutionally so I would say.

      Ah, my mistake! A corrected version You could also do numbers like so , since it seems people (or at least I did for some of the cropped pics, still can't see the 3rd Panzer patch in any of the original pics) have trouble connecting the dots.

      Yeah, honestly I'm surprised at how brazen they are given where they are! But then again, if the UK et al is anything to see - proximity to battles fought in WW2 means nothing in the fight against fascism.

        Easy mistake to make. I made it myself during the process of it and it was basically a complete accident that I learned the coat of arms.

        I don't like the numbers. You have to go fishing around the image for them and it's going to be irritating for the end user. Lines are good. I also thought about some sort of magnifying glass approach but feel like it's something that probably works better in video or gif format better.

        I think the brazenness is out of necessity. The situation is heading towards an end game rapidly now.
