Ukraine's May 8 Day of Remembrance marks shift from Soviet-era traditions
Ukraine observed the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II (1939-1945) as a public holiday on May 8, eliminating the Soviet-era Victory Day on May 9. This change underscores Ukraine’s alignment with Western European traditions and a departure from Soviet and Russian narratives surrounding World War II.
