Social media pioneers circulated a video clip showing Ukrainian activists burning the UAE flag in front of its embassy in the Belgian capital, Brussels.
The video shows a number of activists in front of the Emirati embassy building, burning the UAE flag and pictures of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in protest of Abu Dhabi's supportive stance against the Russian invasion of their country.
