In his quest to Make Ukraine Great Again, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took the war with Russia to a whole new level Friday when he signed a declaration moving the official recognization of Christmas from January 7th, the date of the Russian Orthodox observation, to the Western traditional day of December 25th, Politico reports.
Zelenskyy said the move was to encourage his countryman to “abandon the Russian heritage” Ukrainians have adopted after generations of occupation and rule from Moscow-based overseers. It also pushes Ukrainians to move away from the Russian Orthodox-affiliated churches in Ukraine, which have been shown to be giving aid to Russian invaders.
