US journalist Benjamin Wittes projects the Ukrainian flag and works by Ukrainian artist Nikita Titov on the walls of the Russian Embassy in Washington, DC

In response, the embassy staff projected the letters Z and V on the building. The Ukrainian office of the Voice of America reported this.

Benjamin Wittes has been projecting the Ukrainian flag on the walls of the Russian Embassy in Washington almost every month since the start of the full-scale invasion. He calls it a "special projection operation."

"If people can't sleep in Kyiv, if they can't sleep in Lviv, and if they can't sleep in Odesa, they shouldn't sleep in this embassy," Wittes commented.

This time, he also decided to project paintings by Ukrainian artist Nikita Titov. 

The artist joined the action remotely. Titov was commenting on his work, and his words were broadcast in Washington via a loudspeaker. Benjamin Wittes said that Russians always try to cover up the images during his protests by using their own projectors. "They project the letters Z and V with their projectors every time I do this. Sometimes they send people across the street to try to block our projections. And they usually call the security service to try to arrest us," the American adds.
