We created this T-shirt in response to Russia's continued demand that Ukraine surrender five  regions — Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea. This T-shirt delivers a clear message: 603,628 square kilometers is the only correct size of Ukraine.

The Legend of Kyiv Tote Bag (L) and Large-print Cossack T-shirt (R)

While Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union 35 years ago, Ukraine as a nation is much older. From the founding of Kyiv over 1,500 years ago, to the Cossacks, a semi-nomadic group of warriors who were early pioneers of Ukrainian independence, make a nod to Ukraine’s rich history with our collections.

Wear the icon that symbolizes independent Ukraine

Trident Bird T-shirt (L) and Ancient Coins T-shirt (R)

There are two symbols that represent independent Ukraine more than any others. One is the country's flag. The other is the trident or ‘tryzub’ in Ukrainian, which is the central emblem on Ukraine's modern coat of arms. From a symbol of the ancient rulers of Kyivan Rus, to a secret sign of the Ukrainian resistance, to an official state emblem, the tryzub has been an icon of Ukraine for one thousand years.

To mark Independence Day, the entire Ukrainian Trident collection has 10% off through Aug. 31.
