Dated before February 2022. Automatically disregarded. Must be dezinformatsia. History started in February 2022.

Just checked how Wikipedia is doing with its summary of the phrase:

From the 1930s it was used by different Ukrainian groups, as well as Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities in the West during the Cold War.

That's... certainly a sentence.

Gee I wonder who the Ukrainian diaspora was in the 1930s

Oh my god:

In the Soviet Union, the slogan "Slava Ukraini!" was forbidden and discredited via a decades-long propaganda campaign alongside the diaspora Ukrainian nationalists who used it.[9][6] They were dubbed "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalists", "Banderites", and "Nazi henchmen" by Soviet authorities.[9]

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the slogan began to be heard at rallies and demonstrations.[6] After Ukraine declared independence in 1991, the phrase "Glory to Ukraine" became a common patriotic slogan.[citation needed] In 1995, President of the United States Bill Clinton used the phrase in a speech in Kyiv[10] (together with "God bless America").[11]
