Working days and weekends in Ukraine in December 2025
In December 2025, there will be 23 working days and 8 weekends in Ukraine. It is important to note that Christmas, celebrated on December 25, and New Year on January 1, both falling on Thursday, will be working days. This is due to the cancellation of additional holidays that were introduced because of the martial law.
December 31, 2025, which is also a Wednesday, will remain a regular working day. Thus, Ukrainians will have the opportunity to actively work in the last days of the year and celebrate New Year at their workplace. In January 2026, there are expected to be 22 working days and 9 weekends.
Impact of changes on working schedules
Therefore, changes in working schedules for December 2025 reflect the adaptation to the new conditions in Ukraine due to the prolonged martial law. The cancellation of additional holidays indicates a revival of economic activity and a desire for stability amidst the challenges faced by the country.
These innovations may impact the planning of work processes and the celebration of New Year holidays, contributing to better organization in the personal and professional lives of citizens.
