On August 23, the staff of the Embassy of Ukraine held a solemn ceremony to raise the State Flag of Ukraine. Our flag reminds us where our home is — for millions of Ukrainians.

Blue represents the sky, protected by our defenders. Yellow symbolizes the fields, tended by our farmers. Together, they form the Ukrainian flag — a flag of our freedom and #volia.

Happy Ukraine’s National Flag Day! May it wave proudly across all 603,628 km² of Ukraine.
