It is known that in the 13th century, a golden lion on a blue background adorned the coat of arms of the son of Danylo Halytsky - the Lion (Lviv got its name in his honor). Then blue-yellow colors were used in the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, where Galicians fought alongside Lithuanians and Smolensk as part of the Polish army. And already in the 15th and 16th centuries, they began to be used in the coats of arms of Ukrainian cities, especially those that received Magdeburg law. In the Cossack era, flags had a rectangular or so-called beveled shape. Traditional motifs of Cossack banners were blue cloths with golden or yellow images of coats of arms, heavenly bodies, weapons, figures of saints, etc. The front side of the regimental and hundred flags was a national emblem with the image of a Cossack in a golden or yellow shield field on a blue cloth, and the reverse side was a regimental or hundred emblem of the corresponding color with an established image. In March 1848, a revolution broke out in the Austrian Empire, the so-called "Spring of Nations". These events became an impetus for the Ukrainian national liberation movement. In April of the same year, the Central Russian Council was established in the city of Lviv, which restored the use of the coat of arms of the Russian kingdom (Galician-Volyn state) of the 13th-14th centuries with the image of a golden lion on a blue background. Blue-yellow and yellow-blue bicolors were considered national flags (both variants were used). On March 22, 1918, the Central Rada headed by Hrushevsky adopted the Law on the State Flag of the Republic, approving the yellow-blue flag as the symbol of the Ukrainian People's Republic. On November 13, 1918, the blue-yellow flag became the state symbol of the Western Ukrainian People's Republic. On March 20, 1920, a regional blue-yellow flag was adopted in Subcarpathian Rus, which became part of Czechoslovakia. In 1934, the Czechoslovak authorities banned its use. On March 15, 1939, the Diet of Carpathian Ukraine in Khust approved the blue-yellow flag of Carpathian Ukraine. On September 4, 1991, the national blue-yellow flag flew over the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. On January 28, 1992, the State Flag of Ukraine was approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
