As the Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on, the Russian Community Centre in Vancouver has become the target of vandalism, which is now under police investigation.

On the morning of March 5, police were sent to the community centre in the neighbourhood of Kitsilano, near Arbutus Street and West 4th Avenue, after receiving reports that the building was defaced with blue and yellow paint—the colour of the Ukrainian flag, according to a statement from Vancouver police.
