An official Ukrainian Border Guard photo shoot featured one solider with the Schutzstaffel’s double SS bolts and a Nazi-style Reichsadler eagle on his equipment. After backlash about a public relations photo shoot featuring a Ukrainian soldier sporting Nazi symbol patches on his equipment, the Ukrainian Border Guard deleted the offending social media post on Thursday. The October 31 Facebook album featured one soldier with the Schutzstaffel’s double SS bolts on his rifle. A patch on the soldier’s plate carrier depicted a Nazi-style Reichsadler eagle, with the Ukrainian heraldic trident replacing the Nazi swastika. The eagle was overlaid on the red and black flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which collaborated with Nazi Germany. “There are two sides to each of us. We show the dark only to the enemy,” read the post, which depicted soldiers with photoshopped demonic shadows.
