Flags in support of Ukraine torn down in small Welsh village and locals branded 'Nazi sympathisers'

People in a Welsh village have reacted with shock after a number of flags put up in a show of solidarity with Ukraine were torn down by vandals - with one being replaced by a note accusing locals of sympathising with Nazi ideals.

The disturbing incidents happened over the weekend in the small rural village of Hermon in Pembrokeshire, some ten miles south of the town of Cardigan. Just last week, around 70 Ukrainian flags were given to local residents in exchange for a donation.

It was an idea set up locally in order to raise funds for humanitarian support for the people of Ukraine, who continue to endure an ongoing conflict brought upon them by Vladimir Putin’s Russia over a month ago. Thousands of Ukrainians are believed to have died in the war so far, with support - financial, political, and emotional - being provided from people in different countries all over Europe and the rest of the world.
