Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – People across Ukraine take to the streets in traditional embroidered shirts to mark Vyshyvanka Day — a powerful symbol of identity, unity and cultural resilience, especially amid Russia’s ongoing invasion. “This is an important holiday that reminds us and the whole world that we are Ukrainians, that we are a distinct nation,” says Oksana Kravets, a post office worker wearing a Vyshyvanka.
