The situation in Ukraine is dire, and it wouldn't be a dire situation without someone who took weird personal advantage of it and posted it on social media.
People were shocked and horrified when @justpadetwitch, a TikToker and Twitch Streamer, posted a video of himself switching his dating location to somewhere in the Ukraine in order to match with Ukrainian people looking to escape the country.

War broke out in Ukraine in the early hours of Eastern Standard Time, with Putin invading the border, the Kyiv airport, and the Chernobyl disaster site.
Since then, Pade, our original poster, has said that this video "didn't age well." The video was posted less than 72 hours ago.

Strangely, Ukraine's own Twitter has been taking the entire experience with a sense of humor as well; joking recently that it "had a headache" from existing next to Russia.
As the invasion began, the account asked users to tweet at Russia's official Twitter account what they thought of the country, and people obliged.
Tag @Russia and tell them what you think about them— Ukraine / \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0430 (@Ukraine / \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0430) 1645708924
However, the Ukrainian Twitter has worked quickly to ask Twitter to remove Russia's official account while they act as aggressor during this conflict.

Our thoughts remain with the people of Ukraine in this scary time.
