The secret is out. 🚨

They can call it "Deep Red" or "Burgundy" all they want, but we all know it’s actually the «Borscht Pro Max."

Turns out even Silicon Valley designers find their creative genius at the bottom of a bowl of borscht. Proof that the best ideas are fueled by beets, garlic, and a dollop of sour cream. Coincidence? We think not. 🍲📱

🇺🇦 THE STORY BEHIND THE BLUE AND YELLOW🇺🇦

Today, on Ukrainian Flag Day, let's look back at the history behind one of Ukraine's most recognizable symbols.

The story did not begin in 1991. 💙💛

Blue and yellow have deep roots in Ukrainian history, appearing in medieval heraldry and later Ukrainian banners. In 1848, a blue-and-yellow flag was raised in Lviv, helping establish these colors as national symbols.

During the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917 - 1921, blue and yellow became closely connected with Ukrainian statehood. Although the flag was suppressed during the Soviet era, it remained a powerful symbol of identity and freedom.

On July 24, 1990, the blue-and-yellow flag was raised over Kyiv City Hall. A year later, Ukraine declared independence, and in 1992, it was officially approved as the State Flag of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Today, the Ukrainian flag carries history, identity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of freedom.

💙 Blue and yellow - a story that continues..💛
