Ukrainians celebrated Vyshyvanka Day, a day to honor their cultural heritage through traditional embroidered shirts. President Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska praised the shirt as a symbol of resistance and self-identity. Despite challenges like the occupation of Mariupol and theft of cultural artifacts, Ukrainians continue to show unity and strength by wearing vyshyvanky. The day was marked by events like singing the anthem in the Kharkiv metro, showcasing resilience against Russian aggression.
