Something that distinguishes Ukrainian military parades from its other post-Soviet counterparts is, during the Kyiv parade, the marchpast of the tri-service Kyiv Presidential Honor Guard Battalion with the Flag of Ukraine to raise at the flagpole while honors are rendered, which includes the playing of "Shche ne vmerla Ukraina". Since 2014, military bands have also played an integral part in these parades by marching with their units as part of the parade. Unlike their other counterparts, who use "Hello Comrades" as the official greeting during parades, Ukraine uses "Glory to Ukraine" as the official holiday greeting, with the troops responding by saying "Glory to the Heroes".
