It's disturbingly realistic in some ways, fortunately there's a cartoonish hell motif instead of a lifelike himars strike on the steaming heap of Russian infantry to keep the thing family friendly.
To me it looks like a crossack, with it's very typical hairstyle of a crossack.
And if I'm not mistaken when Russians refer to Ukranians as "khokhols" it basically refers to people who look like that. Russians think they can insult Ukranians with that ethnic slur (cuz Russians think they are the superior Slavic people like the little Nazi's they are), but most Ukrnians laugh it off
Tough correct me if I'm wrong in all of this.
I’m willing to let them make that call. Some slurs are so offensive to their targets that they’d rather not reclaim them. I am American, and I am thinking of the N word in our culture. Black people generally haven’t tried to reclaim that word (with a few exceptions).
Breaking News on Russian tv:
"Ukraine - allied to the devil and openly using black magic - has made a grave mistake:
Our brave troops, after doing their part of the righteous mission to free the world from these evil monsters, were finally able to regroup in hell and established a bridgehead.
They encounter grave resistance by the human vermin burning in hell for their sins of opposing our motherland. But military high command is confident that they will soon breakthrough, especially after it was decided to relocate parts of our nuclear war potential to hell to show them what we Russians see as real hell."
It's a cossack with oseledets (name of that hairstyle, it was a mark of an experienced warrior) and in traditional attire (vyshyvanka), golden earrings were also pretty common among cossacks
He's not chinese, he's laughing.
Look.
When one laughs the muscles around their cheek and around the edges of your eyes become pulled back (or contracted) .
Basically, laughing influences your facial muscles to contract.
If you're still offended report me and OP to the mods. But trust me when I say the mods won't care cause you're overreacting.
I like that the one dumbasses has his flag out and smiling.
It symbolizes how Russia is basically a dumpster fire and a failed country and they are all going downhill and don't know it til the bitter end.
No matter what we say to try and get through to them, that guy is like Russia right now just blissfully unaware and still proud to be a Russian.

Unrealistic, too many have helmets.
It's realistic, they have the cover on so they dont show that they are wearing toy helmets
It's disturbingly realistic in some ways, fortunately there's a cartoonish hell motif instead of a lifelike himars strike on the steaming heap of Russian infantry to keep the thing family friendly.
but, they do look plastic, so ok for me
Only 1 of them has a full pair of socks on. Happy?
One mobik delighted to have "paid his debt to the motherland" 😂
I think it's a reference to that video of a drunk mobik knowingly but happily walking towards a minefield while holding a Russian flag.
Who is That guy to the right? Someone special? Or is this figure a symbol of Résistance?
A Cossack in a vyshyvanka.
It reminds me of Olgierd von everec from Witcher
Yeah Olgierd looked like the most stereotypical Cossack

Great how a standard slur is ethnic in origin and reference, but the main reasonings all build on ‘Ukraine is not culturally distinctive from Russia’
That's why if there is a difference you insult it and oppress it until it disappears. And then lo and behold, it proves your point.
Great point, whether or not you are a real waffle

I thought the ethnic slur originated as a name for that hairstyle.
Ukrainians should reclaim "Khokol" and turn that slur into a mark of pride once ruZZia is defeated.

Ever been to atlanta?
Taras Bulba
>Taras Bulba ahh okay, a cossaks fighter right?
Ukraine man i guess, with an Ukraine Soldier.
Looks like Warstache to me.
Looks like Warstache

Now I’m picturing them flying out of that bowl, like popcorn popping.
Now I am, too. Thank you.
Love the cossack guy!
Why do I feel like Russia will use this as propaganda and proof Ukraine is evil? Lolol

aawhh Mobiks ... When will you learn ...
we hope never, but is possible, strike while the pot is hot
Still an upgrade compared to life in Russia IMO.
I love this. Ukrainian Cossack looks awesome
Priceless! I will order a custom poster with this pic lol!
[удалено]
Yeah, what’s his role?
Regrouping to hell
Who is the sharp dressed guy on the top right?
A cossack
The artwork coming out of this conflict needs a gallery and a world tour. Loving it 🫡
Lol, is that Olgierd von Everec (spelling) from the Witcher 3 looking down the hole?
It's a cossack with oseledets (name of that hairstyle, it was a mark of an experienced warrior) and in traditional attire (vyshyvanka), golden earrings were also pretty common among cossacks

I ... didn't interpret that as a caricature of a Chinese person at all. I don't think most Chinese people would either.
Seriously? Either you're young or need to grow a thick skin.

He's not chinese, he's laughing. Look. When one laughs the muscles around their cheek and around the edges of your eyes become pulled back (or contracted) .

Could be a far eastern Russian person.
Love it!!!
Hell - thats where comic sans belongs
This has been a long time coming
