Ricardo,

Double checked. All work for me. If the download is slow and error comes up, it's your ISP. Try again at another time.

Exclamation Ukrainian flags modern form

Well I may not know too much about Ukrainian history, but I do know about Swedish history and there it specifically sais that the Ukrainian flags coulors came when hetman Mazepa saw the Swedish colours blue and yellow, and became inspired and thought of the steppes golden fields and blue skies when the Swedish king Charles XII came with his blue and yellow flag colours.

The modern Ukrainian flag I believe was first used in 1939, during the short reign of Carpatho-Ukraine. The colours were the same, but the flags colours were reversed.
