This was stated by Vice Prime Minister for Humanitarian Affairs Dmytro Tabachnyk. Thus, he did not support the initiative of the Ministry of Justice of the previous government. \n \nRecall that the Ministry of Justice, headed by Serhiy Holovaty, proposed a new version of Ukraine's state holidays. According to it, in addition to Constitution Day, a number of historical dates were to receive "state status." In particular, National Unity Day – December 1, the Shevchenko Holiday – March 9, Victory Day – May 9, and so on. \n \nInstead, it was proposed to remove New Year, Easter, Christmas and March 8 from the list of state holidays. However, Tabachnyk did not agree with such changes. Especially since, as of today, the concept of "state holiday" is not legally defined in Ukraine. \n
The Cabinet of Ministers will not revise the Law on Public Holidays
