About Ukraine Public Holidays
Ukraine's Labour Code lists civil and religious holiday dates, including Easter Sunday, Trinity Sunday, Independence Day on August 24, Defenders of Ukraine Day on October 1, and Christmas on December 25. This page applies those current statutory reference dates to the 2027 calendar.
The distinction between a listed holiday and an actual day off is important. Special legislation during martial law can suspend the ordinary Article 73 non-working-day rules. For that reason, this calendar does not add substitute Mondays or describe every listed date as a guaranteed closure. Travellers and employees should verify the rules in force closer to the date.
