2024 note: Statehood Day in Ukraine is celebrated today (15 July) and not on 28 July anymore
Can someone move please Statehood Day (Ukraine) to this template (Selected anniversaries/July 15) and remove it from Selected anniversaries/July 28. Statehood Day is a public holiday and day off in Ukraine. It used to be celebrated on 28 July, but since this year it is celebrated on 15 July. This is due to Ukrainian churches now using the Gregorian calendar (the "western calendar") while they previously used the Julian calendar as it was and is still used by the Russian orthodox church. This move of calendar was a response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the derusification of Ukraine since 2022. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  18:03, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
