The Pahonia Detachment was a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
The detachment received its name in honor of the Pahonia, the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which in 1991-1995 was the state emblem of Belarus. In 1995, following the results of a 1995 Belarusian referendum held on the initiative of Alexander Lukashenko, the coat of arms was changed and has since been actively used by the Belarusian opposition.
