Kinda embarrassing to admit, but idk what that trident symbol means, I know it’s Ukrainian, but that’s about it, what are the origins of the symbol? Edit: I’m still confused lol

It is from old coinage of Volodymyr the Great and got adopted in 1917 after a historian suggested it (about 1000 years later).

A lot about Ukrainian identity and symbols is very post-hoc.

Volodymyr the Great

"To assert our independence from Russia, we shall adopt the symbol of Vladimir the Great, Prince of Novgorod."

Just don't tell them where Novgorod is

Seems like rightful Ukranian clay to me.
