On Baba Rod Mountain in Lviv, border guards created a living flag of Ukraine, emphasizing the unity and resilience of the nation.
At an elevation of 294 meters, which offers a panorama of Lviv, the border guards of the 7th Carpathian Border Unit carried out a symbolic action. Majestic clouds of blue and yellow smoke rose into the sky, forming a powerful visual symbol of unity and resilience. From the top of the mountain, one can see the High Castle and the districts of Znesinnia, Pidzamche, and Zamarstyniv, where a memorial cross and the state flag, representing the strength and independence of Ukraine, are installed.
The event was given special significance by Iryna Hakh, the wife of Hero of Ukraine Roman Hakh, who held the line for six hours in Luhansk region and gave his life for Ukraine. She lit blue and yellow smoke flares, symbolically passing the flame of memory from those who died to those who continue the fight.
“Our flag is a symbol of freedom, unity, and resilience. Border guards are the first line of its defense,” emphasized Colonel Serhiy Shapoval, deputy head of the 7th Border Unit for moral and psychological support.
Participants of the action stood in formation of the flag, emphasizing that the blue and yellow banner is not only a state symbol but also a living history and the spirit of Ukrainians, uniting generations. The smoke rising into the sky became an image of unyielding will. Under this flag, we stand. With this flag, we go to battle. And with this flag, to victory.
