In Ukraine during the development of the Hetmanate, rather close ties developed between the Order of Malta and Zaporizhzhya Sich. Although the Order of Malta officially appeared on Ukrainian lands in 1609, contacts took place even earlier. Hetman Dmytro Vyshnevetskyi, who organized Zaporizhzhya Sich, built it on the model of the Order of Malta. One of the confirmations of this is the image of Maltese crosses on Cossack flags and other paraphernalia, as well as Maltese crosses carved from stone on Cossack graves.
