My dumb brain thought it was the Ukrainian flag. but why does the Valmiera flag look so much like Ukrainian flag? Valmieras birthday 740

While the current Valmiera flag is official only from 1996, historically the yellow/blue color scheme is older than Ukrainian flag by about ~150 years (1700 vs 1848)
The yellow represents golden autumn while blue represents cornflowers.
