Sometime over the past two days the sunflowers that were planted and growing outside of the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. were ripped from the ground and left sitting on the sidewalk.

Benjamin Wittes tweeted about it after seeing the handiwork of he and a group of pro-Ukraine friends who planted the floral symbol of the country under attack by Russia.
