| 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.

| 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.
