Ukraine’s National Flag Day
On August 23, Ukraine celebrates National Flag Day. Despite all prohibitions, the main national symbol has accompanied Ukrainians on their path to independence. Today, the blue and yellow flag embodies the struggle for freedom—on the chevrons of soldiers, safely hidden in occupied territories and raised over liberated cities.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the national flag gained special significance. On combat positions, military vehicles, and armor, it symbolizes the fight for the country’s freedom.
