Hello Lichess team!
First of all thank you very much for all your work and efforts to make this chess site work and be the best (I moved here from chess.com and am very happy!)
Recently I have played against a player with the flag of white-blue-white strips, since I don't know any country with such a flag I decided to investigate and have a look at the choices you offer. To my surprise you offer this flag as an alternative to Russian flag. This deeply offends me, as there is only one Russian flag, it is white-blue-red, and naming any other flag as Russian is inappropriate and irrelevant.
I might assume that you wanted to add some anti-war flags, however I still don't see any correlation between chess and politics, anyways, if this is what you intended to do, then where are anti-war flags for the USA, the UK, Israel, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Lithuania and many more other countries?
Looking forward to your reply and to something being done about this huge mislead.
Andrew.
