Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Heroes, Ukrainian Flag Keychain

"Glory to Ukraine" Слава Україні, Slava Ukraini, is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance and as the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2018. It is often accompanied by the response "Glory to the heroes", Героям слава, Heroiam slava. It saw renewed use during the Russo-Ukrainian War from 2014, when it became a popular symbol of democracy and Ukrainian independence. According to the Ukrainian Association of Football "Glory to Ukraine" is a commonly used greeting in Ukraine. In 2018 "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!" became the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, by a decree of President Petro Poroshenko. In the Soviet Union the phrase was forbidden, and Soviet and later Russian authorities attempted to discredit it. It has gained worldwide prominence as a symbol of resistance during the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and was set to music by the Norwegian Armed Forces' official composer Marcus Paus, who was loosely inspired by Ukraine's national anthem.[5] It has also been used in protests in support of Ukraine around the world. It has been used in speeches by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as many foreign leaders such as Ursula von der Leyen, Boris Johnson, Mark Rutte, Andrej Plenković and Jacinda Ardern.
