Cossack cross - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cossack cross (Ukrainian: Козацький хрест, romanized: Kozatskyi khrest) is a type of the Templar cross used by the Ukrainian Ground Forces.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] It is frequently used in Ukraine as a memorial sign to fallen soldiers^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] and as military awards.^[3]^[9]

History

Historically it was used by Cossacks, most prominently the Zaporozhian Host.

In modern times cross has been adapted as part of the emblem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine, and is depicted on the flags and coat of arms of several Ukrainian regions, districts and cities, like Konotop, Zinkiv and Zolotonosha.^[3]^[10]^[11] The Memorial to Ukrainians shot at Sandarmokh uses a Cossack cross.^[12]^[13]^[8]

Russo-Ukrainian War

As of September 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian forces started to paint a simplified white Cossack cross on their vehicles as an IFF marker designating Ukrainian vehicles from a distance.^[14]
