In the capital, strong winds damaged Ukraine’s largest national flag, and it is being taken down from the flagpole. This was reported by the Kyiv City Military Administration, and the video was shared on social media.
“Despite the fact that the flag was lowered the day before the weather conditions deteriorated, strong gusts of wind damaged the lowered cloth. It is now being removed from the flagpole and will be replaced with a new one,” the statement said.
The largest flag of Ukraine today is located near the Motherland in Kyiv. The flagpole is almost 90 meters high and weighs 32 tons. The size of the flag cloth is 16 by 24 meters.
