                          About Public Holidays in Ukraine

                          Ukraine's Independence Day (August 24, 1991, from the Soviet Union) has taken on heightened significance since 2022, and the country moved its Christmas observance to December 25 in 2023, aligning with the Western date instead of the Orthodox January 7 date used in Russia - a deliberate, recent calendar change with clear political meaning.
