The National Flag is one of the most important symbols of the state independence of the country, which has been successfully providing its citizens with peace and accord over two decades.
President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych said this during a speech at the celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the city of Kharkiv from the German fascist invaders.
"The significance of the blue and yellow colors on our flag is traditionally treated as a combination of pure, peaceful and cloudless sky that stretches above the yellow grain field - a symbol of peaceful work and prosperity," Yanukovych said.
The President congratulated the citizens of Kharkiv, all citizens of Ukraine on the National Flag Day.
