The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has agreed to celebrate Programmer's Day instead of Christmas

A new professional holiday will be established in Ukraine — Programmer's Day, which will be celebrated on January 7. This was announced on December 24 by Ukrainian MP Alexei Goncharenko (listed in the Russian Federation as a terrorist and extremist).

"Today, the Cabinet of Ministers approved this decree of the President [of Ukraine Vladimir] Zelensky," he wrote on the Telegram channel.

In June 2023, Zelensky signed a decree postponing Christmas from January 7 to December 25. The main reason for changing the date is called "abandoning the Russian heritage."
