Ukraine celebrates two major holidays today

Date

Mother’s Day

Ukrainian mothers are in the heart of war. It’s more important now than ever for you to hear their stories and offer meaningful support. By learning more about the current situation, you can help Ukrainian mums and their families in the ways that matter most.

Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation

This holiday began in 2015 to honor those who lost their lives in conflicts including the second world war. In Ukraine, May 8th is not a public holiday, but May 9th (Victory Day in many countries of the former Soviet Union) remains a day off.
