Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska have congratulated Ukrainians on Vyshyvanka Day.

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky posted a message on Telegram along with a photo of the couple.

"For centuries, we have been captivated by its pattern. But now it is our turn to create the pattern ourselves – through our lives, our fight, and every new step we take," the president said.

He stressed that Ukrainians "embroider it with their own hands – defending what they hold dear, rebuilding what has been destroyed, healing wounds, teaching children, and continuing to learn themselves."

"We preserve our memory and build the future. Happy Vyshyvanka Day, Ukraine! Celebrating the destiny we embroider in independence!" Zelensky added.

Ukraine traditionally celebrates Vyshyvanka Day on the third Thursday of May.
