This chapter examines the evolution of Ukrainian military symbolism since independence in 1991, focusing on how formative events, especially Russia’s invasions in 2014 and 2022, have reshaped symbols, uses of history, and traditions. Drawing on concepts of military culture and the uses of history, it analyses changes in emblems, honorary unit names, and military holidays. The study highlights the interplay between politics, society, and military institutions in forging a new military symbolic space. It reveals Ukraine’s armed forces’ long transition from Soviet legacies to a national military culture rooted in new historical consciousness and civic values.
