Youth Day in Ukraine

Most believe that there have been a lot more positive things over the history of independent Ukraine than negative.

Ukrainian (and not only) society is inclined to associate hopes for a better future with the younger generation, and the arrival of young people in politics (which is believed to be active, educated, and progressive) – with positive changes in the country; change of generations – with the final departure from the Soviet way of thinking and approaches (“until the generation changes – nothing will change”).

On July 29, 2021, taking into account the initiative of youth movements and organizations of Ukraine - in order to support the integration of Ukrainian youth into the European community, the old Soviet tradition of celebrating the holiday on the last Sunday of June is finally a thing of the past, by Presidential Decree No. 333/2021, the celebration of Youth Day was postponed to August 12 .
