The Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform of Vitali Klitschko (Ukrainian:Український демократичний альянс за реформи Віталія Кличка; the acronym UDAR/УДАР translates to "strike" or "punch") is a political party in Ukraine headed by retired Ukrainian professional heavyweight boxer and the WBC world heavyweight champion emeritus Vitali Klitschko. The party has an anti-corruption and pro-European platform.
Legally it is the successor of Political Party "European Capital" (Ukrainian: Політична партія „Європейська столиця“) which was registered in March 2005. In its current form the party was founded on April 24, 2010, on the basis of the Vitali Klitschko Bloc(Ukrainian: Блок Віталія Кличка), a local political alliance in Kiev (the capital of Ukraine).
The party won 40 seats in the Ukrainian parliament in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election.
The party's flag (source: http://www.trust.org/item/20131216113021-jaz91/) is a red horizontal flag with the party's logo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LogoUDAR.png) in inverted colors (that is, letters in white and background in red).
Here's another picture of the party's flag (fourth flag from left to right): https://twitter.com/MaxRTucker/status/407876172769665024/photo/1/large

I found this photo of a right-wing group
in Ukraine at dailynews.yahoo.com
which states: "Members of the ultra right-wing nationalist
party, the Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA), carry a coffin,
with the body of their leader Anatoly Lupynos, and their
nationalist flags during a funeral procession in Kiev, Ukraine,
on Tuesday, February 8, 2000. Lupynos, one of the founders of
Ukraine's Popular Movement (Narodny Ruch) , who served 27 years
in Soviet-era prisons, died on Saturday, Feb. 5. He was 62. The
activists of UNA took part in the Russian-Chechen war against
Russia and took part in other armed conflicts, acting against the
Russians. (AP Photo/Viktor Pobedinsky)"

Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA) – The party was founded in
1990. The party flag is red with black cross (symbol of he Cossacks)
and sign of "infinity". The sign is torn. It must
symbolize that the process of building of ukrainian state was
interrupted in the past.

Natsional'na Konservatyvna Partiya).

Ukrainian National Labor Party (Ukrayins'ka natsional-trudova partiya,
UNTP; Українська націонал-трудова партія, УНТП) was a minor ultra-rightist
party. Founded in 2005, it was never registered. Having failed to achieve a
greater influence, it ceased to exist in 2009; its members, mostly consisting of
skinheads and football hooligans, have dispersed to other similar groups. [1]
The party flag in use from 2007 to 2009 [1, 2] was charged with black
monogram NT, fimbriated white, upon square red field. Letter N (early medieval
form of Cyrillic letter Н) stood for word "nation" (natsiya, нація)
while the letter T, shaped like a hammer, stood for the word "labor" (trud,
труд) [2]. The flag colors were said to have been traditional colors of
Ukrainian people; in addition, red color symbolized struggle for social justice,
while white stood for the "purity of national idea" [2]. The unspoken meaning of
the color set was the Nazi symbolism, because the party often described itself
as National Socialist [1]. The emblem was inspired by that of the
Social-National Party of Ukraine.
The flag
was seen in Kyiv during the demonstrations on 2007-04-16 [1, 3], on 2007-06-30
[1, 4], as well as on several other rallies which can no longer be dated due to
a bug at the surviving party website which displays incorrect dates (the dating
of those which can be, was done after the Wikipedia info about the UNTP
activities) [5, 6].

The original party flag, used until 2007 [1, 2], was a red-black
horizontal bicolor, charged with a large white disk bearing crossed sword and
hammer in black. This emblem, said to symbolize struggle and labor [2], was
originally used by in Germany by Otto Strasser and his followers – the so-called
"Nazi left wing" and has gained
much popularity among the neo-Nazis worldwide since the 1990s. General
design is a derivation of the so-called "Patriotic
Flag" which is very
popular among Ukrainian ultra-rightist groups, either in its basic form or
modified to produce their own flags. This particular flag was seen in Kyiv on
2005-11-07 [1, 7], on 2006-05-01 [1, 8], on 2006-05-21 [1, 9] and on
2006-10-14 [1, 10].

The Ukrainian People Democratic Party seems to use a horizontally divided
blue-yellow-green flag. The party website shows the logo of the party with these
three colours and something looking like a flag (on the rigth middle of the
page, 7 cm below (PDP). see: ndp.org.ua.
I don't know anything about this party. The top two-thirds of the
flag are evidently related to the Ukrainian colours. I assume it
is anti-Communist or at least not Communist since red colour is
not used in the flag.
Ivan Sache, 16 November 2001
The Political Handbook of The World, 1997 has:
"Popular-Democratic Party of Ukraine (Narodno-Demokratychna
Partiya
Ukrainy – NDPU). The NDPU was registered in June 1996 as the
result of a merger of centrist political forces, including the
Party for Democratic Revival of Ukraine (partiya Demokratychna
Vidrodzhennia Ukrainy – PDVU) and the Labor Congress of Ukraine
(Trudova Kogres Ukrainy – TKU). The PDVU had earlier formed the
core of the New Ukraine (NU) center-left alliance and had won
four seats in the 1994 ballotting. In 1998 the NDPU got 28 seats.
Leader: Anatoliy Matviyenko".
Jarig Bakker, 16 November 2001
Jaume informed me off-list that the correct proportions of the
PNP flag could be 1:2. From the "image" of the flag on
the party website, it is "between" 2:3 and 1:2. I
initially made it 2:3 according to the Ukrainian natonal flag.
Ivan Sache, 17 November 2001
The Ukrainian inscription of PDVU by Jarig is not correct. The
name in Ukrainian looks like Democratic Party of Revival (correct name is Party of Democratic Revival).
Correct Ukrainian name is – Partiya Demokratychnogo Vidrodzhennya
Ukrainy. The Ukrainian name of TKU is not correct too. It must be Trudovyi Kongres Ukrainy.
Regulation on symbols of the People's Democratic Party was adopted
on 17, June, 2000 by Executive Committee of the party.

Gaceta de Banderas 79 show a dark blue flag bearing a white
disk with a black bird, that is reported by Grechilo, being the
flag of the Republican Party. I have a photo of a demostration
where is a blue flag (but light blue) bearing a yellow disk with
a dark device (that is not visible). Anyone know if this can be
same flag (in a variant version) or other different party flag?

I saw a red flag with a communist-style symbol in the canton: the outline of
half a book, a hammer and a sickle-shaped spike. After a long search, I finally
found an evolution of the same symbol at www.ukraine.ru
and it turns out to belong to a Ukrainian party, post-communist,
called (in russian) "Sotsialistitcheskaya Partiya
Ukraine", or Ukrainian Socialist Party.
Jorge Candeias, 16 December 2004
It is an actual flag of SPU (Sotsialistychna partiya
Ukrayiny). This party was founded in 1991. Leader: Oleksandr
Moroz.

Joe McMillan, 5 Febuary 2002
The party was instituted on March, 19, 2000. According to
WEB-site of the party: Flag of the party is blue with orange
horizontal stripe. Motto 2:3. Blue inscription "POLITICAL
PARTY" (Helios Ext. Bold font) is placed on the orange
stripe.White inscription "WORKING UKRAINE" (Futuris
Black font) is placed at the bottom of the field.
Blue stripe symbolizes validity, faith, love to majestic,
cleanliness, transformation. Blue – colour of devoted service to
true and aspiration to self-expression. Orange – colour of
harvest, fruits of ground, evolved under beams of the sun, colour
of action, enthusiasm and freedom. White – this colour is a base
of all paints, it symbolizes tolerance.
Victor Lomantsov, 6 Febuary 2002
From www.brama.com:
Working Ukraine (Vyborchyy Blok "Trudova Ukraina"). It
was formed by the Civil Congress of Ukraine (Hromadyanskyy
Konhres Ukrainy) and Ukrainian Justice Party (Ukrainska Partiya
Spravedlyvosti). The Civil Congress, based in Donetsk, was
created in 1992 by representatives of the east and south to
defend the Russian language and promote closer integration with
Russia. (see Note 12) The bloc put up a slate of 117, including
Kiev City Mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko, Minister of Foreign
Economic Ties Serhiy Osyka, and first assistant to the premier
Andriy Derkach. The anti-Kuchma paper Silski Visti (29 January)
asserted that Working Ukraine is filled with people "who
worked or are working in the president's Administration or
cabinet" and is a "'fifth column' in the veterans'
movement". The list is headed by veterans (No. 1 and No. 3)
and includes a total of 25 members of veterans' organizations.

Mr. Denis Sacharnych reported at the Russian E-mail Forum RussoVex about news
item from www.rian.ru:
On August, 10, 2005 there was a picket of the Euroasian Youth
Union (EYU) near the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow, asking for
the resignation of the president of Ukraine, Mr. Victor
Yushchenko, as well that Ukraine will join USA as its 52nd state.
A new blue-yellow star-spangled
flag for Ukraine was shown at www.evrazia.org.
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 11 August 2005
The political point is well made, and it's interesting to
reflect for how many countries this visual metaphor would work –
Ukraine's unique yellow and blue are immediately obvious in the
new context. But it's a pity that, having gone to the trouble of
making the new flag, they didn't pay more attention to the
details. Unless there's a stripe folded under at the bottom,
there are only twelve stripes, and – coming close to defeating
the object of the exercise, it seems to me – there are only 35
stars.
André Coutanche, 11 August 2005
There are 7 columns of 5 stars and 12 stripes. If Ukraine is
no. 52, why are there 35 stars? And for that matter, the 52nd
state?
Was something annexed while I wasn't looking?
Eugene Ipavec, 11 and 22 August 2005
12 strripes would make sense, since it's a parody of the
Ukrainian flag, so it's blue-yellow repeated. Looking at the
picture, it doesn't quite look right: the stars don't seem
uniform (as to be expected from a one-off protest flag), for
example the middle star on the second row seems to be upside
down, the stars closest to the fly on the third and fourth row
are definitely rotated in opposition to each other, and the first
star on the bottom row again looks to be upside down. The 35
stars are indeed a mystery, as the US flag has 50, and Ukraine
has half that many subdivisions.
David Kendall, 23 August 2005
I noticed some of that, actually, but assumed that the
protesters had just been sloppy, instead of there being intent
behind the changes. I suppose there's a broader point here.
Eugene Ipavec, 24 August 2005
It was asked about an Ukrainian orange-white-blue flag as
follows:
"I'm french and I'm looking for a flag. A friend saw a flag
on a licence car plate from ukraine, from the top: orange (or
yellow may be) – white – blue".
In my city I can see frequently Ukrainian cars and they bear the
national flag and the quoted flag is unknown. But if it was in a
shape of an oval, perhaps it is a independentist flag (Ruthenian
or Lemko or other?).
