We have identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in some of our translations submitted as part of a third party tool outside of the Ubuntu Archive. The Ubuntu 23.10 image has been taken down and a new version will be available once the correct translations have been restored.

The answer: a malicious contributor added hate speech to the Ukrainian translation. ISO will cover back up once they can go through all of the files and make sure there isn't any they didn't find at first.

What exactly did the hate speech say? No news publication seems to have shown a screenshot.

The commit added Ukrainian translations to the install instructions. Most were vanilla, but at the end of the file they added some statements with things like "Oh no, this is inappropriate for your sensitive religion". I'm not quoting exactly here, for obvious reasons.
