Ukraine National Flag Day

_{Ukraine annually celebrates Flag Day on August 23. On this day yellow-and-blue flag was risen at the flagstaff of the Kiev City Council. The first ceremony of rising of the modern Ukrainian flag took place on August 24, 1990 in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Two years later this flag was adopted as the national flag of independent state of Ukraine. However, Flag Day is observed on August 23, because August 24 is Independence Day in Ukraine. In order to omit double celebration, Flag Day was moved.}
