Satirical cross-stitch artwork depicting a burning oil refinery 
beneath the words 

“#GenocideOrHeat WhatDoYouWantToDo?”

Framed in ornate gold against red patterned wallpaper, the piece responds to Zelensky’s reported offer to halt Ukrainian strikes on 
Russian refineries 
if Russia stops attacking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Political satire rendered as cross-stitch embroidery on white background. 

A large black oil droplet hangs above a much smaller droplet 
and a solitary seated human figure, 
seen from behind in an olive-green top, 
emphasizing the contrast between oil and human life. 

Black embroidered lettering reads: 

“There once was a Trump who said, ‘Stop!’ 
But Ukraine kept hitting the shop. 
Putin’s oil caught fire, 
His leverage sank dire
And neither could turn off the tap.” 

Beneath, green hashtag along the bottom asks, 

“#WhatsItGonnaBePeopleOrOil?” 

The artwork references Ukrainian strikes against 
Russian oil infrastructure and criticism of those strikes by 
President Donald Trump. 

The oil droplets and human figure are symbolic; 
the verse is satire, 
not a factual quotation or a claim that 
Russia’s oil industry 
has 
stopped 
operating.

Cross-stitch-style political satire featuring 
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 
against an illustrated backdrop of burning oil refineries, 
orange flames and black smoke. 

The embroidered text reads: 

“Your refineries are impeding freedom. 

We are great shots, as you know. 

#WhatDoYouWantToDo?” 

The words are fictional satirical dialogue, 
not a quotation from Zelenskyy, 
and the burning refineries are symbolic 
rather than depictions of a verified specific attack. 

The artwork responds to Zelenskyy's October 11, 2026 proposal 
that Ukraine stop striking Russian oil refineries 
if Russia stops attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure, 
with reciprocal guarantees. 

The proposal followed President Trump's 
criticism of Ukrainian refinery strikes.

Cross-stitched political satire depicting Russian President 
Vladimir Putin in close-up, his hand covering his mouth 
as he looks directly ahead. 

Behind him, black industrial oil pipelines feature dripping oil, 
valves, a dangling dollar-sign price tag, orange sparks, and dark smoke. 

Against a bright blue embroidered background, the headline reads, 

“Those are some expensive pipes...” with “expensive” in orange. 

A green banner below reads 

“#WhatDoYouWantToDo?” 

The artwork responds to Ukraine's reported 
October 8, 2026, strike on Russia's Omsk oil refinery, 
confirmed by Ukraine's General Staff and reported by Exilenova+. 

The damaged pipelines and Putin's apparent reaction 
are satirical representations, 
not verified images 
of the attack 
or his response.

Cross-stitched political satire on white fabric depicting 
Donald Trump with raised hands 
and a rounded, open mouth, 
wearing a navy suit and red tie. 

Behind him stretches a black, oil-dripping pipeline, with a valve, 
bright neon-orange flames and dark smoke. Embroidered lettering reads, 

“Dear Putin and Trump, 

your oil is burning,”  

A green stitched banner below reads 

“#WhatDoYouWantToDo?” 

The artwork references Trump’s October 2026 agreement 
concerning Russian diesel 
and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s 
October 11 ABC News interview, 
in which he expressed willingness 
to halt Ukrainian strikes 
on Russian fuel infrastructure 
if Russia stopped attacking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. 

The burning pipeline 
and Trump’s expression 
are satirical imagery, 
not documentation 
of a particular attack 
or reaction.

Political satire accompanying Tendar’s report on 
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s October 11, 2026 statement supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 

On the left, Donald Trump appears in side profile, 
his mouth wide shouting. Opposite him, the words 

“#HearNoEvil” 

are embroidered in large red-and-black stitches on white linen, surrounded by colorful floral and geometric designs inspired by Polish and Ukrainian folk embroidery. 

The artwork satirically portrays 
Polish-Ukrainian solidarity as 
refusing to give Trump’s rhetoric 
an audience. 

Tusk reaffirmed support for Ukraine 
and its president 
amid public criticism 
of Zelenskyy 
by Trump.

An editorial-style, AI-assisted collage celebrating the evolution of cinema, with the headline 

“#TruthInFilmWins” in black and red lettering against a white background. 

On the left, a black-and-white portrait inspired by pioneering filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché appears beside a stylized reproduction of a 1915 archival image showing her directing a cast 
during rehearsals for Fra Diavolo. 

On the right, a contemporary cinematic portrait depicts a dark-haired woman looking over amber-colored sunglasses, inspired by imagery associated with the Lebanese film Furies. 

Across the bottom, large black and red lettering reads, 

“Different eras. More storytellers.” 

The artwork celebrates the contributions of early women filmmakers 
and contemporary storytellers, 
inspired by reporting on eight submissions from 

Algeria, 
Egypt, 
Iraq, 
Jordan, 
Lebanon, 
Morocco, 
Saudi Arabia and 
Palestine for consideration in the 
2027 Academy Awards’ Best International Feature Film category.

Political satire rendered as intricate blue, white, and gold cross-stitch depicts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looking solemnly at a silver spoon filled with water. 

Jewish-inspired decorative embroidery, 
Stars of David, 
pomegranates, 
olive branches, 
and two doves surround his portrait. 

Beneath him appears a traditional Yiddish proverb: 

“If it is someone’s fate to drown, they can drown in a spoonful of water.” 

The artwork reflects on the limits of political power and accountability under international law. Netanyahu faces an International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity, which he disputes. 

The water represents a metaphor 
for fate and the limits of power, 
not a wish for physical harm.

Political satire rendered in detailed cross-stitch depicts 
Vladimir Putin slumped on an ornate chair, 
his face resting in his hands, 
with a fallen crown at his feet 
and the Russian flag behind him. 

Embroidered lettering reads, 

“Time for the loser to sit down.” 

The artwork responds to the Institute for the Study of War’s 
October 10, 2026, assessment that Putin blamed Ukraine 
for stalled peace negotiations 
during his October 9 call with Donald Trump, 
despite Russia’s refusal to make meaningful concessions. 

ISW also reported continued Russian drone attacks, 
Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil and railway infrastructure, 
and localized Ukrainian advances. 

The defeated posture and fallen crown 
are symbolic political satire, 
not a claim that Russia has been 
militarily 
defeated.

Political satire rendered as a realistic cross-stitch portrait of 
Donald Trump wearing a Russian-style military uniform and fur hat, 
with his downturned expression modeled on a photograph. 

Embroidered lettering reads 

“Russia Strikes Again.” 

The artwork responds to Anton Gerashchenko’s post citing 
Bloomberg’s October 2026 reporting that Western officials assess Iran has preserved missile and drone manufacturing capabilities despite U.S. and Israeli strikes, and that one Western official says Russia is supplying Iran with missiles. 

The Russian uniform satirizes Trump’s approach to Moscow; 
it does not establish that he is a Russian agent.

Satirical cross-stitch artwork depicts 
Donald Trump with a smug expression, 
surrounded by colorful 1970s-inspired flowers and a peace symbol. 

Beneath his portrait, embroidered lettering reads, 

“Greed did what environmentalists couldn’t.” 

The artwork responds to Bloomberg's reporting that 
Trump urged Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries 
and suggested replacing President Zelenskyy 
amid efforts to secure diesel supplies. 

The slogan satirizes the political influence of oil dependence.

Two benevolent extraterrestrials monitor Earth from a space station. 

One reads, 

“Twenty killed. 

Three children.” 

The other asks, “And Trump eased oil sanctions?” 

Their shift log reads 

“#OilLivesMatter.” 

The cartoon responds to an October 10, 2026, Reuters report 
published by The Moscow Times describing a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia that killed 20 people, including three children, 
one day after Trump announced easing sanctions on Russian diesel. 

The juxtaposition is satire, 
not a claim that the sanctions decision 
caused the attack.

Political satire depicts Donald Trump kneeling 
and embracing a leaking oil barrel bearing the Russian flag 
while crying, 

“A WORLD PROBLEM!” 

Nearby, an abandoned pink child's shoe lies among rubble. 

The artwork contrasts Russia's documented unlawful deportation 
and transfer of Ukrainian children with 
Trump's October 10, 2026, objections to Ukrainian strikes 
on Russian oil refineries. 

The scene is symbolic political commentary, not an actual event.

Political satire depicts Donald Trump 
as an enormous military tank 
bearing Russian and North Korean flags, 
with Russian tanks in the background. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy looks toward him skeptically. Large neon-pink lettering reads 

“Oh really?” 

The artwork responds to Trump's October 10, 2026, remarks 
calling for Ukraine to replace Zelenskyy, 
despite Russia having 
invaded Ukraine. 

The tank and flags are satirical symbolism, 
not evidence of Trump's military affiliation 
with either country.

Vladimir Putin in a red satin robe and 
Donald Trump in a pink feather-trimmed robe, 
holding pink telephones amid hearts and plush bedding. 

Speech bubbles read, 

“You hang up first…” and 

“No, you hang up first…” 

The artwork responds to The Moscow Times’ report 
citing Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, 
who described their October 9 phone call as friendly and 
claimed neither president wanted to hang up first. 

The romantic scene and dialogue are fictional satire.

on September 22, 2026, 
speaking about cooperation 
with Russia and Ukraine. 

Contrasting panels read 

“With Russia: diesel deal” 

and 

“With Ukraine: stop hitting the refineries.” 

The artwork references October 10 reporting 
that Trump agreed to Russian diesel imports 
and temporarily eased sanctions while 
pressing Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian refineries. 

Ukrainian officials also alleged 
threats to intelligence-sharing, 
which U.S. officials deny.

Political commentary artwork featuring a close-up portrait of 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu looking sideways 
against a yellow background. The caption reads: 

“The warnings were dismissed. 

Now come the denials.” 

The artwork responds to CBC News reporting published October 10, 2026, describing allegations that Netanyahu received warnings from regional allies about a potential major Hamas operation before October 7, 2023, but failed to relay them to Israeli security officials. 

Netanyahu denies receiving those warnings 
and calls the allegations a hoax. 

Separately, warnings from young Israeli military surveillance personnel about unusual Hamas activity were repeatedly dismissed by senior officers, as previously documented. 

Bereaved families, including the father of 19-year-old surveillance soldier Roni Eshel, who was killed in the attacks, continue demanding an independent state inquiry.

Political satire depicting Donald Trump grimacing 
as he presses an oversized red “Sanctioned” sign against 
a fictionalized International Criminal Court building. 

Vladimir Putin smiles from a black limousine, 
while a briefcase labeled 

“Law & Order” spills papers across the courthouse steps. 

The caption reads: 

“When the law comes knocking, 

sanction the courthouse.” 

The artwork references the Trump administration’s 
October 9, 2026, sanctions against the ICC as an institution, 
following earlier sanctions against individual court officials. 

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March 2023 
over alleged war crimes involving the unlawful 
deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children. 

The fictional scene satirizes political pressure 
on international justice and does not imply 
coordination between Trump and Putin 
or suggest that 
Trump 
faces 
ICC charges

Political satire inspired by The Godfather. 

Vladimir Putin presents a miniature oil tanker inside a red velvet case while Donald Trump holds a document labeled 

“Sanctions relief.” 

A map of Ukraine lies on the table, 
and a fictional burning city appears through the window. 

The caption reads: 

“The fuel was a promise. 

The sanctions relief was real.” 

The artwork references Trump's October 9, 2026, announcement 
of a Russian diesel supply agreement and the U.S. Treasury's temporary authorization of certain Russian diesel transactions through April 7, 2027. 

Energy analysts have questioned 
whether the promised supplies 
will significantly 
lower fuel prices. 

The fictional scene critiques 
the easing of economic pressure 
on Russia 
during its 
invasion of Ukraine.

Political satire inspired by the cinematic atmosphere of The Godfather. 

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin 
sit close together in a luxurious, 
dimly lit office, 
examining a miniature oil tanker surrounded by stacks of cash, 
whiskey glasses, and an open ledger labeled 

“Revenue” 

and 

“Human Cost.” 

Through the window, 
a fictional city resembling Kyiv burns beneath an orange sky. 

The caption reads: 

“The war was bad for business. 

Unless you owned the business.” 

The artwork criticizes the economic interests surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, particularly the October 9, 2026, 
Trump–Putin diesel agreement and temporary U.S. sanctions relief. 

It contrasts potential Russian petroleum revenue 
with the human cost of war. 

The scene is fictional and 
does not allege that Trump personally profits 
from the arrangement.

A three-second video shared by 24Hours Ukraine 
shows orange flames and thick smoke beyond a roadside guardrail 
at night, filmed from a vehicle. 

The account attributes the footage to a reported Ukrainian drone attack on Russian oil infrastructure overnight October 9–10, 2026. 

Independent reporting identifies the affected facility as the Yug Rusi oil-loading terminal in Rostov-on-Don, which handles petroleum products from the Novoshakhtinsk refinery. 

The attack followed a Trump–Putin telephone call 
concerning Russian diesel supplies.

Digitally created embroidered political satire depicting an elegant White House cocktail napkin. Fine ivory linen with delicate hemstitching carries two sentences: 

“Wall Street has a bull market.” in black thread, followed by 

“Moscow has a blood market.” in red. 

A small gold embroidered White House sits beneath the lettering. 
The artwork responds to Anton Gerashchenko's post showing 
a sharp rise in the Moscow Exchange Index 
following Trump's October 9, 2026, 
announcement concerning Russian diesel supplies. 

It satirizes the potential financial benefits to Russia 
while its war against Ukraine continues. 

The napkin is fictional, not an official White House item.

Cross-stitched political artwork responding to 
a Fox News segment featuring 
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, 
shared by 24Hours Ukraine. 

Two embroidered scenes contrast a damaged Ukrainian electrical substation with a Russian oil refinery. 

The text reads: 

“Russia bombs Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure. 

Ukraine strikes Russian refineries that help fuel its war. 

Washington tells Ukraine to stop. 

Not Russia. Ukraine.” 

Beneath it appears 

#RussiaIsATerroristState. 

The artwork criticizes the Trump administration's 
request that Ukraine stop striking Russian diesel refineries 
while Russia continues attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. 

The final lines are rhetorical emphasis, 
not a claim that Washington has never called on Russia 
to stop its attacks. 

Both scenes are symbolic illustrations, not documentary photographs.

Satirical artwork responding to a video shared by @paulusthewoodgnome about the Trump administration's 
October 9, 2026, sanctions against 
the International Criminal Court (ICC). 

Outside the ICC headquarters in 
The Hague, Netherlands, two doves perch on an iron fence. One asks, 

“He's shutting down the ICC?” 

The other replies, 

“It's either that or he's gonna bankrupt USA.” 

The joke references Trump's history of 
corporate bankruptcies and the administration's 
threat to dismantle the ICC. 

Established by international treaty, 
the court has 125 member states 
and cannot be abolished unilaterally 
by a U.S. president.

and traditional Ukrainian embroidery 
are connected by a red thread that frays across the fabric. 

The words read: 

“Russian diesel. American dollars.

Beneath them: 

#RussiaIsATerroristState. 

The artwork questions the prospect of American spending benefiting Russia while Putin’s war against Ukraine continues. 

Trump announced proposed diesel supplies from Russia, 
but the post does not establish that shipments 
or payments have occurred. 

The imagery is symbolic, not evidence of a completed transaction.

Political artwork responding to 
UNITED24 Media’s October 9, 2026, report that 
President Donald Trump announced an agreement for Russia 
to supply diesel to American and global markets. 

A black oil barrel stands beside American $100 bills 
and white Ukrainian embroidered fabric featuring blue stitching 
and a gold trident. 

A red thread runs from the barrel across the money toward the fabric, where it frays. Large lettering reads: 

“Russian diesel. 

American dollars. 

Ukrainian blood.” 

Beneath it appears 

“#RussiaIsATerroristState.” 

The imagery symbolizes concerns that 
renewed Russian energy sales could 
generate revenue for Russia while its war against Ukraine continues. 

The agreement has been announced, 
but completed deliveries and payments have not been independently established. This is political commentary, not documentary evidence of a completed transaction.

and an embossed gold globe. 

Large black lettering reads: 

“Watch Vasyl. 

Hear what he survived.” 

Beneath it, 

“Then ask
why Putin

The artwork accompanies Anton Gerashchenko’s video of 
Vasyl, a Ukrainian survivor of Russian captivity, 
describing beatings, 
electric shocks, 
deprivation, 
and the comfort of receiving a letter from his mother. 

The United States has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin

Satirical protest poster features 
an Israeli flag against a white background, 
with enormous red lettering reading 

“Holy Israeli War Crimes.” 

The artwork accompanies an October 8, 2026, 
Channel 12 interview with retired Israeli Major General Avi Gil, 
former military secretary to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Gil alleges that Netanyahu received security warnings 
before Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack, 
that his public account omits important information, 
and that his chief of staff attempted to change 
the recorded time of a crucial telephone call 
from 6:40 to 6:29 a.m. 

Gil also criticized Netanyahu's handling of hostage negotiations and called for an independent state commission of inquiry. 

Netanyahu denies the allegations. 

The poster connects questions of government accountability 
over October 7 with separate allegations of Israeli war crimes in Gaza; Gil's testimony does not itself establish those crimes.

Minimalist square satirical poster on white background. Across the top, enormous bold black sans-serif lettering reads 

“Prisoner exchange inventory.” 

Centered beneath is a realistic, closed navy-blue passport 
with a textured cover, gold “PASSPORT” lettering, a gold globe emblem, and a small biometric passport symbol near the bottom. 

A large white supermarket barcode sticker, 
numbered 000123456789, 
covers the lower portion of the globe. 

Along the bottom, oversized vivid red lettering reads 

“Now accepting civilians.”

The fictional advertisement satirizes Medvedev’s October 9, 2026, suggestion that Russia might replenish its prisoner-exchange pool with European and American citizens following the detention of Rybar founder Mikhail Zvinchuk in Montenegro. 

The barcode symbolizes 
the reduction of human beings

Political satire responding to news that 
Ukrainian negotiator Kyrylo Budanov is traveling to the United States 
for peace talks. 

A figure representing Budanov, 
seen from behind wearing Ukrainian insignia, 
overlooks the U.S. Capitol. 

Two yellow canaries perch on an iron fence. One says, 

“Someone better tell him about Atlantic City…” 

The other replies, 

“Trump built a casino where the contractors lost 
before the gamblers arrived.” 

The joke references Trump's Taj Mahal casino, 
which opened in April 1990 
amid contractor payment disputes 
and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 1991. 

Contractor Marty Rosenberg later described unpaid bills, 
reduced payments 
and bankruptcy threats 
in a 2016 Forbes interview. 

The canaries' words are satirical

The woman is symbolic, not a specific individual. 
Her presence connects today's effort 
to disrupt Russia's wartime oil logistics 
with the much longer history 
borne by Crimean Tatars, 
including Soviet deportation from Crimea 
and, in the present era, 
Russia's occupation 
and claimed annexation of Crimea. 

The tankers represent the logistical networks
 targeted by the new British sanctions.

Satirical artwork depicts a towering monster made of Epstein-related files and documents, bearing Jeffrey Epstein's face, 
outside a royal residence. 

A small caricature of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor 
hides in guardhouse as the monster shouts, 

“Come out, come out, all ye Epsteiners.”

The artwork responds to October 8, 2026, reporting 
that a British court quashed search warrants used 
in the investigation of Andrew over allegations 
that he shared government information 
with Jeffrey Epstein. 

Police acknowledged a legal error, 
but confirmed that their investigation remains ongoing. 
Andrew has not been charged.

Vibrant, 1960s-inspired psychedelic artwork 
depicts four symbolic Ukrainian negotiators 
approaching the U.S. Capitol 
beneath swirling neon colors and 
American and Ukrainian flags. 

Bold lettering reads 

“#WWWW — Wonder What Washington Wants?”

The artwork responds to October 8, 2026 reports confirming 
upcoming U.S.–Ukraine talks, alongside separate reporting 
on potential American-Russian energy deals 
involving 
Nord Stream and 
Lukoil. 

No final agreement has been announced. 

The artwork questions Washington’s priorities 
while emphasizing Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan 
speaks to reporters on October 8, 2026, 
responding to Dmitry Medvedev’s warning 
that Armenia could become 

“a new Ukraine.” 

Pashinyan recalls Armenia’s previous security crises and 
criticizes the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) 
for failing to fulfill its obligations. 

He challenges Medvedev’s warning, 
observing that someone could equally caution against Armenia becoming 

“a new Russia,” given explosions occurring across Russia. 

He declares, 

“Armenia is Armenia,”
 insisting that his country will become increasingly sovereign. 

He also discusses expected contacts with 
Russian President Vladimir Putin and 
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, 
although no formal bilateral meetings are scheduled.

Vertical cellphone video dated October 7, 2026, 
and labeled Harrison, New Jersey, shows a chaotic confrontation 
on a tree-lined sidewalk beside parked vehicles. 

Several people wearing dark clothing marked 

“POLICE” and “ICE” 
are among a group physically restraining 
and shoving people toward vehicles 
while distressed bystanders gather, protest and record. 

The video concludes with a StopICE.net screen reading,

 “Stay aware. Stay alert. Be vigilant,”

Symbolic artwork inspired by Germany and France's 
October 5, 2026, proposal to strengthen European trade defenses, marking a significant shift in Germany's approach to China. 

Two arms clasp across fractured ground: an older, scarred arm extends from an industrial landscape toward a younger, earth-streaked arm emerging from damaged farmland where new growth appears. 

Their joined hands symbolize solidarity, 
shared humanity and responsibility for the future. 

The composition connects Germany's historical reckoning 
with Ukraine's endurance and reconstruction 

— an artistic interpretation rather than 
a documented consequence of the trade proposal. 

Large, weathered metal lettering reads 

“Reckon.” above and 

“Choose.” below.

Satirical caricature of Donald Trump speaking animatedly at a podium, hands spread wide, as a stream of brightly colored, curling nonsense forms pours from his mouth. 

Above him, in oversized whimsical multicolored lettering: 

“’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves…” 

The line is the opening of Lewis Carroll’s 1871 nonsense poem Jabberwocky, from Through the Looking-Glass. 

The image responds to Middle Age Riot’s parody of Trump.
