Does Viral Photo Show 'Nazi' Wedding in Ukraine?

While the photo of the event is real, the image has been manipulated to include a Ukrainian flag in the background.

A reverse search of the image shows that it in fact predates Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The colours on the flag have been digitally altered, with the original picture (dating as far back as 2017, though it could be older) showing a black-and-yellow flag.

The original image was posted at least as far back as October 17, 2017 on the Russian meme aggregator website Yaplakal, but has since been shared on other sites and platforms, including as a debunk.
