Many people took to their social media after Russia started a military attack on Ukraine on Thursday to share all sorts of messages, including photographs and videos from the conflict-torn country. Among them, an old photograph of a couple has gone viral. Shashi Tharoor also posted the photo with a touching remark.
‘Poignant: A man draped in the Ukrainian flag embraces a woman wearing the Russian flag. Let us hope love, peace and co-existence triumph over war and conflict’, read the tweet.

The image depicts a couple hugging each other. The man has a Ukrainian flag wrapped around him, while the woman has a Russian flag wrapped around her. According to The Washington Post, the shot was taken in 2019. It depicts Juliana Kuznetsova and her fiancee during a Max Korzh concert in Poland.
