- Support Striking photo to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Question Striking photo, good quality for a smartphone shot. Because this photo documents an ongoing war, I would like to know a bit more about it before voting. According to this discussion, the photo shows Belarusians fighting for the Ukraine/Ukrainian army, maybe belonging to the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Battalion (the photo is used in the article on that battalion, but the men in the photo have different insignia with different text, so I am not sure). Could somebody who understands Ukrainian and/or Belarusian and therefore can read some more sources tell us whether this seems plausible or not? And then please add a short English description to the photo explaining it? Thank you very much! (Don’t get me wrong! If the information is true, I admire the heroism of these men! But in every war there are also propaganda, disinformation and false-flag operations, therefore I am a bit cautious.) --Aristeas (talk) 10:03, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- To answer a small part of my own question: The lower badge on the right upper arm of the leftmost soldier shows the sign (double cross) and the name of the Young Front (Малады Фронт); according to the article, this soldier is Dzyanis Urbanovich which is also chairman of the Youth Front. So these parts are fitting and seem plausible. Nevertheless I would still want to know more about the connections … --Aristeas (talk) 08:17, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose sorry, composition looks somewhat snapshotty to me. Tomer T (talk) 11:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Tomer & no wow. --A.Savin 13:17, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Weak oppose I'd prefer to wait until the 'fog of war' has lifted a little until we promote documentary photos of this conflict. Cmao20 (talk) 14:01, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Tomer. It’s not bad, nothing really wrong here, but I don’t see much of breathtaking excellence on the other hand. --Kreuzschnabel 20:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Well taken, historically important and likely a QI/VI. But not exceptional enough as an image for FP. Daniel Case (talk) 15:25, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- Support I don't remember supporting images taken with a smartphone before, so I looked carefully over and over and now I can say IMHO this is an FP. The reaction of the body and face of each of them is unique and reminds me of shooter video games, as well as good quality. -- IamMM (talk) 05:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. I hope these guys are all still alive and in good health. --Uoaei1 (talk) 12:00, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
