317 deputies of the Verkhovna Rada voted for such a bill.
At the same time, May 8 will be a day off.
Why is the celebration of Victory Day postponed?
In European countries, the victory over Nazism is celebrated on May 8 – the day of the surrender of Nazi Germany. This day honors the memory of those who died in World War II. Thus, Ukraine joins the democratic world.
Recall that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky proposed to postpone the celebration of the Day of Remembrance and the victory over Nazism. The leader of our country also put forward a proposal to establish a celebration of the Day of Europe “to confirm the EU’s unwavering support for Ukraine.”
It should be noted that this year the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen visited Kyiv on Europe Day.
