Flag of Ukraine

Okay kiddo, so the flag of Ukraine is like Ukraine's special symbol that shows that they are a country and have their own identity.

The flag has two colors: blue on top and yellow on bottom. This is called a horizontal bicolor. The blue represents the sky and the yellow represents fields of wheat, which are important crops in Ukraine.

If you look closely, you'll also see a symbol on the flag in the very center. It looks like a blue and yellow crest with a trident in the middle. A trident is like a three-pronged spear and it's a special symbol that's been used in Ukraine for a really long time. It's important to the people of Ukraine because it represents their strength and independence.

So in short, Ukraine's flag has blue on top and yellow on bottom, and in the middle is a special symbol called the trident that represents their strength and independence.
