A political cartoon released on April 4, 2022, captures the reported killings in Bucha, Ukraine, through a distorted version of the national trident emblem. The central figure shows the trident with a grimacing face, raised hands, and blue liquid dripping from the mouth area. Red dots resembling blood cover the lower yellow portion of the background that matches the Ukrainian flag.

The image appeared shortly after Ukrainian authorities and international media reported finding civilian bodies in the town of Bucha following the withdrawal of Russian troops. Reports at the time described dozens of deaths, some with hands bound. The cartoon uses the national symbol to convey the impact on the country.

The publication date places the work amid the early phase of the full-scale invasion that began in February 2022. Western governments responded with additional sanctions on Russia. The visual approach focuses on the emblem rather than specific individuals.

The composition places the trident against the split blue and yellow field with a small white rectangle above it. The style emphasizes the damage to the symbol itself. Observers noted the timing aligned with the release of graphic footage from Bucha.
