The presidential flag of Ukraine was confirmed by the decree of the president of Ukraine as of November 29, 1999[1] and used during their inaugural ceremony, during which the chairman of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine presents it to the president. On delivering his inaugural address, the president takes a special seat at the session hall of the Verkhovna Rada next to which the president's colour is placed.
Design
editThe president's colour represents a blue square cloth bearing a golden trident (tryzub), the coat of arms of Ukraine, in the center: the Sign of Prince Volodymyr the Great's State, edged with gold vegetative ornament.[2] Two-sided silken cloth was embroidered with the use of computer technologies. One side of the president's colour bears more than a million stitches of pure gold and yellow gold threads. The embroidered trident has volume due to a special lining. The flags of the British monarch and the US and French presidents are also made with the use of the same technology.[1][3]
