I live in Ukraine. Ukraine appeared on the map of the world in 1991. Now Ukraine is a sovereign state with its own territory. It has its own bodies of state power and government. It also has the national emblems: the state flag and the anthem. The state flag has two stripes on it. The stripes are blue and yellow. The blue colour means a blue sky and the yellow colour means a yellow field in summer.
