The network exploded with memes due to the alleged escape of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to Russia after rebels toppled his regime in Syria. Ukrainians compare Assad with other loser friends of the Russian dictator Putin, who also had to flee in disgrace - Viktor Yanukovych and Viktor Medvedchuk.
The network suggests that Putin will once again have to hide his Syrian friend in Rostov. A fugitive Ukrainian president was also hiding in this city ten years ago.
Journalist Yevhen Plinsky ironically posted "Welcome!", adding a photo of Assad with Yanukovych.
The network also mentioned that ten years ago, Assad said that he would never leave Syria, as Yanukovych did, fleeing from Ukraine.
Users also created a collage with photos of Yanukovych, Assad, Putin and Medvedchuk, and next to them they wrote "Astanavities" - the "crown" phrase of the traitor of Ukraine Yanukovych.
The following phrase was also used: "Stop! Rostov is not rubber!"
- On December 8, rebels in Syria declared the capital "free from Bashar al-Assad" and the army's command told officers that his 24-year authoritarian rule was over. The Syrian leader flew out of Damascus, and later it became known about his intention to flee to Russia.
