Ukraine shifts Christmas to Dec. 25, distancing from Russia

This year, Ukrainians marked Christmas on December 25 as a public holiday, deviating from Russia's later date, symbolizing both their discontent with the ongoing Russian invasion and a reaffirmation of their national identity, despite being predominantly Orthodox Christian with divided affiliations between two churches.
