The news follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's signing of a decree on Monday stating that from now on, Ukraine will annually celebrate Europe Day on May 9th. This significant move aligns Ukraine further with the practices and traditions of the European Union, marking an important step in its ongoing efforts to secure EU membership.
