The flag of Ukraine was adopted in 1918, and is interpreted as the blue sky (symbolizing peace) over fields of wheat (symbolizing prosperity). The colors are the Blue and Yellow of the Rus. The Rus were originally from Sweden, whose flag shares the same colors. Under Soviet rule this flag was forbidden as a symbol of nationalism. The Ukrainian SSR had its own flag. The flag was officially restored in 1992.
