Moscow's white chases Kyiv's blue across Russian embassy's walls in US | Video
India Today
A Ukrainian flag was projected on the Russian Embassy in Washington, US, using a powerful spotlight. The video is now being shared online.
It looked like a game of cat and mouse — a white light chasing a Ukrainian flag across the exterior walls of the Russian Embassy. In a video that’s being shared online a spotlight can be seen projecting the Ukrainian flag on the walls of the Russian embassy in Washington, US.
What’s made the video comic is the Russian embassy’s attempt to wash out the projection using a white spotlight of its own. While the person behind the spotlight could not be seen in the video, the light was seemingly being projected by someone across the street from the embassy.
