The Ukrainian military changed the emblems on their jackets and berets.
The innovations were presented by the head of the department for the implementation of military symbols of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Igor Nepota, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The changes affected the signal troops, air assault troops, medical services, electronic warfare units, electronic reconnaissance and law enforcement services. For the first time, the military topographical service, army aviation, marine corps, and the state special transport service received their emblems.
Despite the fact that some services received emblems borrowed from the military units of the UPR army of the first half of the last century, nationalists criticized the innovations.
Thus, the president of the organization “Affordable Housing for ATO Veterans” Viktor Kvyatkovsky was dissatisfied with the fact that the Ukrainian coat of arms was removed from the emblems and shoulder straps.
“The pro-Moscow greens have removed the tridents with emblems! Zelebobikov is jarred by the trident, like ghouls by the light!” Kwiatokowski wrote on his blog.
“They are preparing to capitulate,” user Victoria Demko commented on the news.
Earlier at the parade on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day the military presented a new uniform, the development of which it took a year and a half.
