A meeting in the Pentagon made a mistake how Ukrainian flags were hung upside down in the noticeable background. This happened when a press conference for packages was held when it was too late to be realized how it appeared in the background.
Ukraine Flags Incorrectly Displayed in Pentagon
Under the flag of a non-existent country, the US military's top brass unveiled a major aid package for Ukraine, reported RT.
Last Monday, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley sat in front of four upside-down Ukrainian flags as they met with allies to drum up new weapon sales to Kyiv.
Washington politicians at the top level had done it before, making the same mistake with the flag they were financing in hosting a virtual meeting with the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, hosted by the two defense officials.
The group is a panel of 47 nations ready to supply Kyiv with arms after Russia demolished hardware sent to Ukraine. Supplies will include artillery, ammo, coastal defense weaponry, tanks, and armored vehicles needed as the Ukrainians are getting routed, cited Hollywood LA News.
Four Ukrainian flags had been hung upside down in the background of Austin and Milley, with yellow on top instead of blue. The blunder is not the first-time supporters of Ukraine have mucked up a display of its distinctive flag, presumably the work of a Pentagon staffer.
In March, AFL-CIO, one of America's largest labor unions, had posted on social media a picture of its executive council mistakenly holding upside-down Ukrainian flags shown on posters with 'Stand with Ukraine,' just like what happened recently in the Pentagon.
Following online mockery, the union re-posted the appearance with the flags digitally manipulated to face the right way before removing it entirely after Twitter users ridiculed the photoshopped images, noted the Press United.
US leaders have made errors with Ukraine by making a mistake in identifying them. Many of his critics derided one of Joe Biden's gaffes that drew attention, saying that he's cognitively challenged. Remarked that Putin could block Kyiv with tanks, but said Iranian, not Ukrainian, people that got bashed all over.
Ukraine Mistakenly Confused With Other Countries
An embarrassing situation involving former President George W. Bush after he condemned what happened to Iraq when it was supposed to be Ukraine in a Freudian slip. He called out his actions in Iraq in 2003.
After the Monday meeting that had Austin speak about several countries like Denmark providing ship killer missiles, Czechia will send gunships, while Italy, Greece, Norway, and Poland are sending artillery and ammo.
Since February, the US has given Ukraine nearly $4 billion in military aid, with another $40 billion in military and economic aid scheduled for Kyiv, which is more than six times Ukraine's yearly defense budget.
Vladimir Putin has called the proxy war against the US and allies, using Zelensky as their puppet. All these weapons and the training with intelligence for Ukraine forces are unfortunate, and the US is fighting an undeclared war.
The Pentagon neglected to properly place Ukrainian flags in the background, which caused a stir since Washington was supporting a non-existent country or a Freudian slip.
