I don't know if this topic has been discussed before (or if such an opening already exists), but I think it would be a nice gesture if Chess.com would develop and promote (even symbolically) a chess opening (called Ukraine opening, Kyiv gambit, or something similar), in honor of the ukrainian soldiers who have fought and continue to fight in the war.

Given Ukraine would have preferred Russia not invade in the first place, I'm not so sure about the appropriateness of this idea.
You can pick a banner to show your support of Ukraine. We'll see if mine shows up on this comment.

You can play under the Ukrainian flag to show support. Might distract a few trolls, anyway.

Bronstein, Polugaesky and Gligoric used to play it. Rapport, Jobava and McShane are more recent practicioners of the line.
