Details: Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces say the students received an unusual "patriotism lesson" thanks to the Ukrainians’ "decision to enhance the educational process in enemy schools".

Quote: "And here’s the result. Not knowing what the emblem of Russia’s Special Operations Forces actually looks like, the children created an entire collection of drawings. Only they drew the emblem of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces instead."

The Ukrainian emblem features a silver wolf girded with a golden belt, set against a silver laurel wreath. Underneath is a silver trident with the legendary catchphrase of Prince Sviatoslav of Kyiv, "I’m coming at you", inscribed beneath it.

The emblem of Russia’s Special Operations Forces features a grey wreath with a golden bow and a drawn arrow in the middle of it and a golden double-headed eagle above it.
