My mother has a friend from Russia who has been revealed by the recent events as quite a Ukrainophobe. This woman’s daughter-in-law is Ukrainian, and the older lady hates her guts now even more than she did before.

The Ukrainophobe always wanted to have a flower bed in her garden but everything she plants dies. If you met her, you’d immediately know why this happens. So she asked the Ukrainian daughter-in-law to help her out. The Ukrainian woman obliged.

Now whenever the Ukraine-hater approaches her own house, the first thing she sees is a huge, beautiful flower bed where blue and yellow flowers combine to make the Ukrainian flag.
