In the center of the discussion during the meeting, the bill number 4103-1 "On the state symbols of Ukraine, the procedure for their use and protection".

as said Chairman of the VR Subcommittee on Administrative Services, State Symbols and Awards Alexander Dekhtyarchuk, this document that the Committee proposed the Verkhovna Rada to take as a basis and in general, will help to comprehensively resolve the issue of the description, the procedure for the use and legal status of state coat of arms Ukraine, anthem and state flag.

"I believe that Ukraine should finance and support Ukrainians only where there is a yellow-blue flag", - I noted Yuri Lutsenko in 2014, and two years later became one of the authors of the draft law on the protection of national symbolism.

Now the law will officially be It is determined by the structure of the State Flag of Ukraine ("a banner consisting of two isometric horizontal strips: the top is blue, the bottom is yellow. Both sides of the panels are identical. The ratio of the width of the panel to its length is 2: 3 "), coat of arms (" Golden image of a sign of the prince's state of Vladimir Great (trident) on the blue background of a five-sided shield ") and the state anthem of Ukraine, who ideally should sound in orchestral-choir performance, in Editorial board M.
