Slava Ukraini, meaning Glory to Ukraine, is a Ukrainian national salute with roots in the early twentieth century, traditionally answered with Heroiam Slava, meaning Glory to the Heroes. It was revived during the Euromaidan protests of 2013 and 2014 and became a global symbol of Ukrainian identity and resistance after Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Shared widely in news clips, speeches and social media, the chant is now used online to express solidarity, mark Ukrainian victories and honour those defending the country.
About this sound
A crowd chanting Slava Ukraini, Ukraine's national salute meaning Glory to Ukraine. Used in solidarity videos, patriotic edits and clips supporting Ukraine.
The clip captures a crowd chanting Slava Ukraini in unison, with voices rising together in a steady, defiant rhythm before the response Heroiam Slava completes the exchange. It sounds raw and communal rather than polished, like a protest, stadium or rally recording where many voices blend into one powerful shout. Heard on its own, it feels stirring and resolute, instantly signalling solidarity, pride and resistance, and it gives an edit an emotional charge that a single voice or a music track rarely delivers.
