Promoting to Prep 4. I don't usually write this, but this one's going to be bit controversial, so specifying that per Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 185#Request for comment on Ukraine and Russia hooks, there is a consensus that hooks related to Russia, Ukraine, or the war are allowed as long as they meet the criteria. Should still be "scrutinized more carefully for verifiability and neutrality than normal". I see everything fine here. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:42, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
