As of this writing, Pete Hegseth's Department of Defense still has their tweet up celebrating 'Flag Day' with two Russian flags. No explanation has been given, nor has their tweet been taken down.
Happy Flag Day! ??
Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great. pic.twitter.com/nivJsGH5cQ— Department of Defense ??

A lot of people were asking questions, including a lot of Ukrainian supporters. They were not amused.

So y’all pissed yourselves over a Mexican flag in LA, but now you’re proudly flying TWO RUZZIAN flags on Flag Day like loyal little Kremlin lapdogs? Just admit you side with a terrorist state already and choke on it, scumbags! pic.twitter.com/KRKLzhmrxu

Trolling by the alcoholic Hegseth? A distinct possibility.
