In Ukraine, by May 9, hundreds of thousands of yellow-blue ribbons are being stamped to replace the St. George ribbon
In the Dnepropetrovsk region, “sponsors” have already provided the Right Sector with one hundred thousand yellow and blue ribbons, which will be distributed to residents of the region in exchange for St. George’s ribbons.
Representative of the Dnepropetrovsk Right Sector, Igor Kulikovsky, stated this in an interview with the Den newspaper.

According to him, “The St. George ribbon has lost its meaning for patriots,” but the yellow-blue ribbon “does not cause rejection or negativity.”
“We believe that such a symbol is not appropriate, and it is illogical to use it in Ukraine in an event of memory and mourning for the dead. There is the State Flag of Ukraine, colors that can be used following national traditions,” Kulikovsky said.
Let us recall that during the Great Patriotic War, yellow and blue flags were used by Ukrainian nationalists in the territories occupied by the Nazis.
In Ukraine , hundreds of thousands of yellow and blue ribbons are being stamped to replace the St. George ribbon for May 9th.
