Marines Raise Ukrainian Flag in Temporarily Occupied Kherson Region on Constitution Day
On the holiday, June 28, Ukrainian Marines from the 34th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade stood up to defend state sovereignty and territorial integrity by raising blue-and-yellow flags on the left bank of the Kherson region. This action became a vivid manifestation of patriotism and an irrefutable reminder that Ukrainian land remains under the control of its legal owners, regardless of the temporary occupation. As the brigade’s press service reported on Facebook, on Constitution Day of Ukraine, drone pilots from this military unit carried out a special mission — they raised the state flag precisely in the occupied territories. They placed intact canvases of the state flag and the brigade’s flags on the temporarily occupied Ukrainian lands, demonstrating their support and indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian defenders. "Happy Constitution Day, left-bank part of Kherson region! On this holiday, our pilots conveyed greetings to the occupiers and reminded them: this land is Ukrainian, and we will not surrender it to the enemy," the message said. The released footage shows the dramatic photo and video signals of the blue-yellow flags of Ukraine and the flags of the Marine Corps Brigade fluttering, symbolizing the unwavering will of the Ukrainian people and the military. These actions are important not only for raising the fighting spirit of Ukrainian defenders, but also for all who support the idea of a unified Ukraine. They again and again remind us of the invincibility of the Ukrainian nation, its ability to fight for its rights and freedoms, even during the long trials of war and occupation. On this special day, the Ukrainian military returned to the tradition of demonstrating state symbols, emphasizing that no one and nothing can break their desire to defend their land. It is worth noting that this action took place on the eve of an important date - the Day of the Constitution of Ukraine, which symbolizes the fundamental law of the state, its independence and democracy. In conditions of war, every gesture of patriotism, every raising of the flag acts not only as a manifestation of spiritual unity and national pride, but also as evidence of Ukrainian indomitability in the fight for its land. In general, this act of the Marines became a weighty signal to the enemy and all residents of the occupied territories: Ukraine has not forgotten its citizens and land, and does not give up the fight for its future. The military once again proved that regardless of the conditions and circumstances, the Ukrainian flag will always fly over the entire country, symbolizing the eternal will, courage and indomitability of the Ukrainian people.
