The Ukranian road sign and maintenance agency, Uktravtodor has encouraged removing signage and replacing with more creative messages to help the invading Russian army “to go straight to hell”.

In a facebook post, the company, Ukravtodor, shows an edited image of a road sign where places have been replaced with messages which translate as…. “Go f*** yourself”, “Go f*** yourself again” and “Go f*** yourself back in Russia”.

The message also urges all “road organisations, territorial communities, local government authorities to immediately start dismantling nearby road signs”.

They explain that the enemy has poor communications and will find it difficult to navigate the terrain.

Ukraine’s defence minister backed the initiative saying in a tweet:

“To confuse and disorient the enemy who is illegally moving around Ukraine, we call on [people to] remove signs with numbers and names of streets/cities/villages in their regions.”

“Let’s do everything possible to get rid of Ukraine from the Russian occupier as soon as possible.”

Ukravtodor or the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine ( Державне агентство автомобільних доріг України) is the agency within the Ministry of Infrastructure that oversees the Road signs in Ukraine.

The agency also used google maps to alert citizens about the location of Russian troops.
