On the way to the theater, there was a small sing-along/protest going on. They were giving out a bunch of stuff so I grabbed the most useful--which is why I now have three balloons proudly declaring Crimea still a part of Ukraine.
I don't know what the symbol on the back of the balloon. A two minute Google search did lot clear up what it was so I suppose I'll never know. Still, the girls are loving hitting these around.

It's the Ukrainian coat of arms.
Its the coat of arms depicting a trident representing the trinity of God on earth and in heaven.
Wait, more research has lead to the image being, during medieval times, a depiction of a flying falcon.
However, later images of the trident among the Rurikids more closely resembled a bident (two-pronged instrument, like a pitchfork), which is much like the Cyrillic "У" which denotes the "u" sound like in "Ukraine".
