#Vexillology

Vexillology expert Yuriy Savchuk explained in an interview with RBC-Ukraine that the theory of a "flipped" flag with the yellow stripe on top yields to the historical practice of the blue-and-yellow combination.

Historians clarify: the interpretation of the Ukrainian flag as “sky over wheat ears” only appeared in the early 20th century, whereas the blue-and-gold combination traces its roots back to medieval heraldry and the era of the Hetmanate.
