Russian police have been mocked for ordering that part of a blue and yellow balcony be torn down.<\/p>\n

Residents in a region bordering Ukraine were reportedly told to remove a blanket from their balcony as the combination of colours was a reminder of the flag of the eastern European nation.<\/p>\n

The incident allegedly happened in the Belgorod Oblast, a Russian region sharing its southern border with the Ukrainian Luhansk, Kharkiv, and Sumy Oblasts.<\/p>\n

Pictures shared on the Telegram channel of UNITED24Media, the digital media centre created by the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation, show a balcony on the last floor of a tall building with its outer rim coloured yellow.<\/p>\n

The first of the two snaps also shows a blue blanket hanging on the balcony, an image which may remind the Ukrainian blue and yellow flag.<\/p>\n

A second snap shows the blanket no longer being exposed on the balcony.<\/p>\n

The Telegram channel claimed the removal of the blue item was the result of the intervention of local police.<\/p>\n

Officers reportedly stepped in after a person described on the online page of Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov as “inappropriate” the display of the colours “of the country that is at war with us”, UNITED24Media wrote.<\/p>\n

This report sparked online mockery, with one Telegram user replying to the post writing: “Scary colours!”<\/p>\n

A second, referring to Kremlin’s propaganda stating the war in Ukraine is being undertaken to “denazify” the nation, joked: “They denazified the balcony, good job comrade!”<\/p>\n
