but good cause - wearing nazi insignia or promoting neo-nazi military organisations, handled by an ukrainian embassy or not, should be a no no anywhere in the world.

If this item was distributed from bangkok embassy, thai foreign ministry should have a talk with them.

russians are quite sensitive with nazi insignia, that from their 26mln dead loss to nazi germany

The elephant in the room that western media ignores is that Russia has a lot of support in Ukraine. That is why Putin can't steamroller over them . I know somebody recently returned from the Donbass says the majority support Russia over Zalenski and his crooks.
