| === Day 1 - Chaotic Establishment ===
| |
| In the beginning, the flag was created by "The Hive Mind" - and had no way to coordinate and control its expansion. This caused the flag to quickly span the entire Canvas on Day 1, destroying the start of some artwork.
| |
|
| |
| This prompted the community of r/PlaceUkraine to establish leadership, and organization, and attempt to gain control over the situation. Once a discord was created, and a link to it was posted on the subreddit, the moderators of R/PlaceUkraine were able to establish control over the canvas.
| |
| === Day 2 - Cleanup & Organization ===
| |
| The Ukraine Mural was quickly filled with text saying "Fuck Putin!" - the origin of this is unknown, as moderators of R/PlaceUkraine continued to try and unite it's community to remove the text.
| |
|
| |
| Eventually, a field of Sunflowers were proposed as a method of removal. Upon creating sunflowers, the "Hive Mind" caught on, and began to replace "Fuck Putin" with a field of sunflowers.

| An uncountable number of people who participated in [[r/place 2022]] wanted to help maintain the Ukrainian Mural. As these individuals were not part of r/PlaceUkraine's Subreddit or the community's Discord, they were out of the loop on planned projects, and would often prevent the progress of new artwork by accident. | | An uncountable number of people who participated in R/Place 2022 wanted to help maintain the Ukrainian Mural.

|
| The r/PlaceUkraine community quickly referred to these individuals as part of "The Hive Mind". During r/place 2022, they were seen as both an obstacle and a blessing. It took great effort to show when new artwork was trying to be added, slowing the progress of artwork overall. But as soon as the artwork was done, The Hive Mind protected it. | | The R/PlaceUkraine community quickly referred to these individuals as part of "The Hive Mind".

| This caused false accusations of Bot Use from many groups, but only two groups of bots were approved by r/PlaceUkraine Moderators towards the end of the project. | | This caused false accusations of Bot Use from many groups, but only two groups of bots were approved by R/PlaceUkraine Moderators towards the end of the project. |

| ==== Ukrainian Trident (Tryzub) ==== | | === Tryzub === |
| The Ukrainian coat of arms - the trident, or tryzub - has a long and rich history (at least a thousand years), but it is also a symbol of a modern country. It's simple, but it's also meaningful. It is a stripe of Ukrainian warriors preserving Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity now, and it reflects heroic events in the past.<ref>Jarmel, J. (2022, August 8).

| The text "Bayraktar" was forced upon the Ukrainian flag by a Turkish Streamer and their community.
| |
|
| |
| Due to the controversy behind the Bayraktar Drones, having been specifically Sold to Ukraine and not given, members of R/PlaceUkraine wanted it to be removed so that more mural art could be added in it's place.
| |
|
| |
| Community Leaders of R/PlaceUkraine met with the streamer, and agreed to replace the text with a artistic depiction of the Bayraktar drone, with the streamer agreeing to then remove the text from the flag.
| |
|
| |
| Upon completion of the sprite art, the text was not removed. This caused an uproar between the communities, as the Turkish Streamer claimed that moderators of R/PlaceUkraine did not represent Ukraine. As such, the text was removed in the final form of "The Final Clean" done by the Reddit Community.
