Banner o Ukraine
The banner o Ukraine (Ukrainian: державний прапор України; translit.: derzhavnyy prapor Ukrayiny; literally ‘state flag of Ukraine’) is the naitional flag o Ukraine. The naitional flag wis offeecially adoptit for the first time in 1918 bi a short-lived Ukrainian Fowkrepublic. At that time the commonly uised yellae–blue flag haed awready turned intae blue an yellae an sportit a trident (tryzub) in the upper left corner. The insignie remained unchynged bi the successive govrenment o Pavlo Skoropadsky, an then bi the Directorate o Ukraine. Durin the Soviet era, Bolsheviks haed been uisin red an later red-blue flags as the offeecial flag o the Ukrainian SSR. The blue an yellae flag wis offeecially restored in 1992 follaein Ukrainian unthirldom.
Article 20 o the Constitution o Ukraine states “the State Flag o Ukraine is a banner o twa equally sized horizontal baunds o blue an yellae colour.”
