The team of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center sincerely congratulates all Ukrainians on the Day of the State Emblem of Ukraine. It was on this day in 1992 that the Verkhovna Rada approved the trident as the Small Coat of Arms of Ukraine, defining it as the main element of the large State Coat of Arms.
It is worth noting that the trident has a thousand-year history and it became a symbol of the struggle of Ukrainians for independence. Indeed, on the fate of our country and its people fell incredibly many trials. And unfortunately, today, we meet this day in the conditions of a full-scale war, which was started by Russia on 24 February 2022.
Almost 3 years of full-scale war have already passed, almost 11 years of illegal occupation of the Ukrainian territories of the Russian Federation – Crimea and Donbass – have already passed.
But despite everything, we continue to hold defence and resist. We faithfully fight for our freedom.
We are free people!
So it was and so it will be!
Glory to Ukraine!
