Ukraine Defence Forces confirm liberation of Klishchiivka

The left and right are different parts of the historical coat of arms. The black one is a parody of the nazi, eagle and swastika? I'm not sure.

The trident, is the seal-trident of Volodymyr the Great, the first Grand Prince of Kyiv. As time went on, his children had their own signs that grew more complex but eventually became simpler, and altogether forgotten.

Eventually people began to associate themselves with the old rulers sign, including the military and state, as form of national pride.

Another fact: the modern yellow and blue flag is not the sky and a grain field. Infact, for years they flew the yellow above the blue. It's a color pattern coming all the way back from Kievan Rus’.

This was a fun video about some that stuff: https://youtu.be/Gqgh2U0YkTs?si=gUy8zYO-c5Bla0Gm

Edit: it's also worth pointing out: The red and black motif (on the parody flag) isn't asccociated with fascism; it is their representation of fighting facism. The colors were used by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, before being switched back to blue and yellow.

I wish I could read the text on the flags. If anyone can provide a translation, I'd give you my left leg.

Edit 2: Upon further study, the UIA did attempt to create a mono-ethnic state. This situation is complex, indeed.
