Reverse description
Against a smooth background, are the abbreviations EU and UA, which intertwine, creating a visual symbol of the unity of Ukraine and Europe. The two letters “U” seem to be one, forming the image of a new life that sprouts under the auspices of the European Union. The legends ДЕНЬ / ЄВРОПИ / EUROPE / DAY are surrounded by 12 stars that resemble those on the EU flag, symbolizing the unity, integrity and harmony of the peoples of Europe.
