This week Sheffield City Council removed the national flag of Ukraine from the town hall and replaced it with another flag, but what did the new banner signify?

The flag of Ukraine, a blue stripe above a yellow stripe, was flown over Sheffield Town Hall this week in an act of solidarity with Ukraine which is resisting a Russian invasion.

The town hall was also illuminated in the yellow and blue of the flag, joining monuments and government buildings across the world in support of the embattled country.
