Ukrainian flag with the Chechnya CoA in show of
solidarity with Ukraine (photo, source).
Notice that by this time, the first "phase"
of the Russian invasion had ended (2014) and
the second "phase" (2022) had not taken place yet, so this gives the
flag a rather civilian nature (grassroots background) as opposed to a
military intervention of Chechen fighters (as it currently happens as
seen here: Independentist Chechen flag,
Dudayev Battalion flag, Akhmad Kadyrov flag).

The only problem I have with this one, is that the Facebook picture
shows the white band more narrow at the top than it does near the bottom.
But remember why those A2 sized displays of all flags were so far off
sometimes: The important part was that the flag could be recognised, not
so much that the picture matched the cloth exactly.
