The American Embassy in Ukraine was accused Tuesday of inadvertently backing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Ukraine is an “integral part” of Russia after attempting to clap back with an ill-chosen meme.On Tuesday morning, the embassy’s official Twitter account shared an image that purported to include four depictions of Kyiv and Moscow in the years 996, 1011, 1070, and 1108.The images of Kyiv showed Desyatynna Church, St. Sophia’s Cathedral, Vydubychi Monastery and St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery. The corresponding depictions of Moscow showed only woods — a reference to the Russian capital’s founding in 1147.
