The History of Flags and Coats of Arms in Ukraine (1991 - 2026)

After 4 months of work, I present... well, whatever this is.

NOTES:
1. Yes, I know I left out Novorossiya. My reasoning is that it was never really properly formed and existed moreso as a parliament that did very little during its existence. The Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic were effectively still separate.
2. Yes, the flag of Sevastopol is in the Federation Council. This does not mean that it was reaffirmed, only that it continues to be used despite not having any legal basis for doing so. In my last version of this video, I sourced a random news clip about the flag of Sevastopol as it being official, which... isn't a good source.
3. The frontlines are most likely wrong in large parts. I honestly went a bit mad drawing them. Sorry! The flags and coats of arms should be right, though.
4. Yes, ukrainian forces entered Russia before August 2024. Those were temporary incursions, not a months long campaign. Therefore, I don't count them.
