Ukraine's official account tweets "victory"

2022-09-02T20:46:17.239Z


Describing yourself in one word - that's what users, companies and institutions are trying to do on Twitter. Ukraine uses this for a sign.


Chancellor Olaf Scholz tweeted "respect", Finance Minister Christian Lindner "freedom" and the official account of the Ukraine just wrote "victory"?

A sightseeing flight on Twitter could cause slight irritation on Friday.

No, the Russian war of aggression is not over.

It's just a trend among users (and apparently also social media managers from companies and institutions).

According to industry media, the American rail company Amtrak started the so-called one-word trend of using one word to describe itself on Twitter.

Always lowercase.

For example, US President Joe Biden tweeted “democracy” early on Friday morning German time.

»peace«, »equal treatment« and above all: »freedom«

In addition to German authorities such as the Foreign Office (»peace«) and the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency (»equal treatment«), the trend made it as far as Kyiv.

And of all things, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, who repeatedly resorted to the power of social networks during the war and repeatedly countered rumors with mobile phone videos at the beginning of the Russian invasion, capitalized his word - contrary to the trend.

But with an all the more important message: »Freedom«.
