I greet you on the Birth of Christ!
May good fortune blossom with your holly wreaths,
So that in your home, good tidings prevail,
And in your peaceful dwellings - Love blooms!!!
May Christmas visit you, with what your heart desires,
May it bring peace into your home,
May your Kutya be delicious,
May happiness reign within your family,
May merry carols fill your home with joy.
Christ is Born! Let us Glorify Him!

Вітаю вас iз Різдвом Христовим!
Щоб вам щастя квітло, Вінком калиновим,
Щоб над вашим домом Слава панувала,
А під мирним дахом - Любов розквітала!!!
Хай Різдво з тим завітає, Чого серце забажає.
Хай несе у кожну хату Щастя i Pадості багато,
Хай смачна кутя Вам вдасться, Хай в сім’ї панує щастя.
Щоб весела коляда В хату радість принесла.
Христос ся Рождає! Cлавлiти Його!

Merry Christmas!
3 Рiздвом Христовим!

russias goal has remained unchanged for centuries: to erase Ukraine and Ukrainians from the world.

Today, Holodomor Memorial Day serves as a stark reminder that the enemy is willing to use any means to achieve its goals—even hunger as a weapon. It is a day when we honor the memory of the millions of Ukrainians who perished in the inhumane crimes orchestrated by the Kremlin's regime.

During the Holodomor famine genocide russia tried to conceal the mass killings of Ukrainians, burying the truth alongside the victims in mass graves. They lied, denied, and distorted historical facts. Nothing has changed, and nothing will change, they continue to act in the same way, as murderers, terrorists, and liars in cahoots with iran, north korea, and china.

They went unpunished then, don’t let them go unpunished now.

Stand with Ukraine. Stop this war by beating russia to the ground. No capitulation. No giving up Ukrainian land. Don’t just put the bear back in the cage, destroy it.

We are fighting for a peaceful future for Ukraine and the world. We remember the tragedies of the past and avenge our tortured ancestors. Ukraine will prevail. russian evil must be vanquished. 🇺🇦

Happy Ukrainian Language day!

🎉 Happy Ukrainian Language Day! 🎉

Today, let's dive into the colorful and playful world of the Ukrainian language with some fun facts that are sure to surprise you! Here are five intriguing tidbits:

👉A Rich History: The Ukrainian language emerged in the 6th-7th centuries AD, evolving from Proto-Slavic. Scholar Yuriy Shevelov identified key periods in its development, including Proto-Ukrainian from the mid-9th century and Old Ukrainian from the late 14th century.

👉Synonym Sensation: The word "horizon" has a fantastic 12 synonyms! But the real star is the verb "to beat," which boasts an incredible 45 synonyms! With so many options, you'll never run out of ways to express yourself!

👉Literary Superstar: Ukrainian literature shines on the global stage, especially with Taras Shevchenko's "Testament," the most translated Ukrainian poem, available in 147 languages! Talk about a literary ambassador!

👉Busting Myths: Many think Ukrainian is just a cousin of Russian, but that's a myth! Belarusian is actually the closest relative, sharing 84% vocabulary overlap, followed by Polish (70%) and Serbian (68%). Russian comes in at 62%. Ukrainian truly stands out in its own right!

👉Modern Ukrainian: The publication of Ivan Kotlyarevsky's poem "Eneida" in the late 18th century marked a pivotal moment, signaling the beginning of modern Ukrainian literary language. Rather than Church Slavonik, Eneida was written in vernacular Ukrainian, understood by all.
