Activists unfurled the national flag on Ukraine's Sobornost Day in the temporarily occupied Crimea.



This was reported by activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement in Telegram.

The Ukrainian flag was flying at the top of the Crimean mountain Pahkal-Kaya.

The activists said that they unfurled the national flag to once again "show the unity of the Ukrainian people because Crimea is Ukraine!"

Today the symbol of Ukraine is flying over the top of Crimea, and very soon we will decorate the whole peninsula with blue and yellow flags," the activists wrote.

We shall remind you that today, Ukrainians celebrate one of the most significant public holidays - the Day of Ukraine's Sobornost. 105 years ago, the Act of Unification of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UNR) and the West Ukrainian People's Republic (WUPR) was proclaimed in Kiev.

In honour of this, a national record was set in Lviv. On January 21, a large flag of Ukraine with signatures and wishes from 1448 Ukrainians was unfurled in the city centre. The state symbol was signed by military personnel currently defending Ukraine from the aggressor, volunteers, and cultural figures, as well as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhny.
