It could also be Ukraine. There have been a lot of blue and yellow logos lately.

This is definitely true. I considered that it could be Ukraine, but ultimately it seemed less likely. Most of the Ukraine-related logo changes I personally saw were done earlier on in the war, and most of what I see right now is Pride-related. I probably could have mentioned this possibility in the comment, as well.
That said, the author didn’t tell us; so we’re left to guess.

We don't need to guess. The post was agnostic to the political cause.

Not mentioning a cause is not the same thing as being agnostic.

The post itself was, though, as the gp post wrote.

To me, it actually sounds like a dog-whistle. As I said in my original comment, making it an actually agnostic argument would have been trivial.
