For over three years now, the Russian terrorists have been bombing Ukrainian hospitals, shopping malls, and schools. And yet they took deep offense when a Czech minister wore a smart pair of socks showing the Russian Kremlin in flames.

At a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Tomáš Kopečný, Czech Governmental Envoy for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, wore socks showing the Kremlin in flames, prompting sharp criticism from Russia.
President Zelenskyy visited Prague last week. At the meeting, Kopečný was wearing socks featuring an image of the Kremlin in flames. This prompted an outraged reaction from Andrey Klimov, Russia’s Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.

So, a russian General is allowed to casually threaten a World War, but socks are too much?

They are often confused. But the Kremlin, while stately, does not have multicolored onion domes.
There are a lot of buildings inside that wall and one of them appears to have some onion domes so decorated they are almost cartoonish - I don't know what it is, but it's definitely not the whole Kremlin and it's not the Kremlin Palace, which has some white and gold domes you can see in this picture. The red brick wall surrounds the entire Kermlin.
