The image depicts a cartoon of a wolf tied with a rope, holding a bouquet of flowers, and impatiently saying "время давно!" ("time's up!") to a snail, referencing a humorous cultural trope from the Russian animated series "Nu, Pogodi!" where the wolf often chases the hare, symbolizing impatience or frustration with slow progress.
The snail, a slow-moving creature, contrasts with the wolf's urgency, drawing on a common Russian folklore motif where animals personify human traits, here emphasizing patience versus impatience in a lighthearted, whimsical style typical of Russian cartoon art.
The artwork reflects a playful, satirical style often seen in Russian social media, possibly commenting on modern life's fast pace versus traditional slow, deliberate approaches, without any specific news or current events tied to it.

At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can." On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change.
