KYIV (Reuters) - As volunteer fighters Oleksandr Zhuhan and Antonina Romanova pack for a return to active duty, they contemplate the unicorn insignia that gives their uniform a rare distinction - a symbol of their status as an LGBTQ couple who are Ukrainian soldiers.
Members of Ukraine's LGBTQ community who sign up for the war have taken to sewing the image of the mythical beast into their standard-issue epaulettes just below the national flag.
The practice harks back to the 2014 conflict when Russia invaded then annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine, "when lots of people said there are no gay people in the army," actor, director and drama teacher Zhuhan told Reuters as he and Romanova dressed in their apartment for their second three-month combat rotation.

Well, at least they have a “horn” to poke the Russians with.

Didn’t they try to sneak out of the country at the beginning. Then were upset that both the fake men and fake women were pressed into military service as they tried to leave Ukraine. The fake women because they are men. The fake men because they want to be men.
Do they point with their finger and say: “Bang-Bang”?

Looks very Disney, so...
Same here. The Russians are the invaders, period.
