@toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone Here are simple avatar and banner. I combined public domain images to make these.

The links to originals:
flag: https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/en/view-image.php?image=327616&picture=flag-of-ukraine-themes-idea-design

sunflower: https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/en/view-image.php?image=194378&picture=sunflower-isolated-on-white

@dana @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone Okay, your attachments don't show up in Lemmy, just the links to the original uncombined source images. And in Calckey they appear to have been converted into webm format, which is useless. I managed to take screenshots of them and upload those, so I can check this off as done for now. If I trimmed the screenshots incorrectly we can always fix that later by re-uploading.

This group is current mainly focused on raising awareness and calls to action for helping Ukraine in its war against Russia's colonialist aggression. To this end we also encourage as secondary focus:

Exposing Russian Compromised Companies/Media/Politicians and Narratives
Exposing the history of Russian Imperialism, under the current regime, under the USSR and under the Tsars.
Raising awareness of other countries suffering from Russia's Colonialist Agression (Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Belarus, etc).
