Ukraine statutory holiday dates are shown as provisional because Article 73 and automatic substitution are suspended while martial law applies. They must not be read as guaranteed non-working days.
Provisional under the recurring rule or pending annual/operational confirmation. Ukraine statutory holiday dates are shown as provisional because Article 73 and automatic substitution are suspended while martial law applies. They must not be read as guaranteed non-working days.
Office arrangements
Do not assume automatic closure. During martial law, the ordinary Article 73 non-working-day rule is suspended; public bodies and employers set operations under applicable wartime law and their approved schedules.
Bank arrangements
A statutory holiday date is not proof that every bank branch will close during martial law. Check the National Bank, the relevant bank and payment cut-off notices for the year.
School arrangements
School opening, remote-learning and event arrangements depend on education-authority decisions, local security conditions and the institution’s schedule.
History
The observance concerns the adoption of Ukraine’s Constitution in 1996. The date shown follows the current text of Article 73 of Ukraine’s Labour Code, while the special labour regime under martial law suspends the ordinary application of Article 73.
Why it matters
Constitution Day marks adoption of Ukraine’s Constitution on 28 June 1996. Its statutory identity remains in force, while workplace and institutional schedules operate under the special martial-law regime.
Observance
The observance focuses on the Constitution and Ukrainian state institutions. Public programmes, where held, must follow current national and local security requirements.
Travel and planning
Confirm curfews, air-raid procedures, transport timetables and venue notices close to travel. No automatic substitute date is inferred when the observance falls on a weekend.
