Slava Ukraini, meaning Glory to Ukraine, is a long-standing Ukrainian greeting and patriotic slogan, traditionally answered with Heroyam Slava, meaning Glory to the Heroes. It was used by Ukrainian independence movements in the early twentieth century and became widely known around the world after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, when crowds, athletes and online creators adopted it as a public expression of solidarity. Short clips of the chant spread across social media and messaging apps, where it is still shared to show support, mark moments of resistance and unite viewers around Ukraine.
