Ukraine celebrates the Day of Ukrainian Statehood and the Day of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus
Today, Ukraine celebrates two important holidays: the Day of Ukrainian Statehood and the Day of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus – Ukraine. These commemorative dates underscore the centuries-old history of our people and the resilience of the Ukrainian identity.
On the occasion of the holiday, the President of Ukraine addressed the citizens.

This holiday is a symbol of unity, faith in victory, and devotion to our traditions. Despite all the difficulties, Ukraine continues its path as a free and independent European state.
