Ukraine will celebrate the Day of Ukrainian Statehood on Thursday, a new national holiday that was decreed by Zelenskyy last August.
"This decision will help emphasize the continuity of more than a thousand years of Ukrainian statehood. It will be a factor in resisting Russia's hostile narratives of Ukraine as a 'fake state,'" Ruslan Stefanchuk, the chairman of Ukraine's parliament, said last month about the holiday. "We must win back every inch of our history."
