Liberation of Ukraine from Nazi Invaders Day is observed in Ukraine every October 28. This official remembrance day commemorates the anniversary of the liberation of Ukraine during World War II, specifically marking the events of October 28, 1944. The observance was established in 2009 by a presidential decree signed by then-President Viktor Yushchenko. The liberation process began in January 1943, with Soviet troops, including Ukrainian soldiers, liberating cities until the last city, Uzhhorod, was freed on October 27, 1944. On this day, annual commemorative ceremonies are held across Ukraine, where people lay flowers at monuments and graves of war heroes, honoring the sacrifices made for freedom. The day holds national significance for Ukrainians as they pay tribute to the warriors and veterans who fought in the conflict.
