by painting it with the Ukrainian flag
The spot sits outside of the official residence of the Russian diplomat Pyotr Plihin, and is specially reserved by the city for diplomatic use, according to national broadcaster Yle.
On Thursday, city officials announced they would not be removing the paint, Yle reported.
The idea first came from Virtala, who told Insider he showed up in a hi-vis jacket to appear more like a maintenance worker. But after about half an hour, Mattsson, who was cycling to work, stopped and decided to help him.
Mattsson, whose partner is Ukrainian, wrote on social media: "We held a two-man referendum on annexing the parking spot to Ukraine."
That's some peaceful protesting. Very cool!
