Guide to May Holidays in Ukraine

Submitted by admin on Fri, 04/29/2016 - 17:13

May holidays are a long-standing tradition in Ukraine from Soviet times. Usually, Ukrainians have two public holidays for the International Labor Day (1st and 2nd of May), one holiday for the Easter and one for the Victory day (9th of May).

Labor Day gradually lost its meaning after the collaps of USSR, but some political parties and unions still organize demonstrations on this day.

This year, the official may holidays will consist of 6 days: April 30th, May 1st—May 3rd, May 7th—May 9th.
