Flag of the Nation of Heroes
August 22 a solemn event dedicated to the Day of the State Flag of Ukraine took place on the Alley of Heroes in Taras Shevchenko Park.
On the eve of the holiday Odesa State University of Internal Affairs organized a march called “Flag of the Nation of Heroes” unfurling a 12-meter State Flag of Ukraine. The solemn march with the flag was led by war veterans and university staff, who, together with OSUIA cadets, carried the blue and yellow banner with dignity along the Alley of Heroes.
At the monument to Taras Shevchenko, the participants honored the memory of the fallen heroes with a minute of silence. After that, those present sang the National Anthem of Ukraine together.
"For me, as a veteran, our blue and yellow flag is not just a piece of fabric. It is a symbol of the freedom for which my brothers fought, it is a memory of those who gave their lives for Ukraine, and it is faith in our Victory. Let us cherish and honor it, because Ukraine lives and triumphs under this banner!" said Serhii KOZACHENKO, assistant to the rector of the OSUIA for work with veterans and a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
