Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

24.12.2024

Dear colleagues, employees, students, and friends!

I sincerely and heartily wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas and New Year holidays are always the birth of hope for the best, for the fulfillment of the most cherished dreams and thoughts. So let them be the beginning of the path to a new peaceful and happy year.

Now we all have one and greatest desire – victory and peace. So let this year’s Christmas holiday bring victory and peace to our Ukraine, peace, harmony and happiness to all Ukrainian families! May the Christmas star unite us all, light the fire of faith, hope and love in our hearts, and settle in our souls the pure light of unquenchable human dignity and values!

I hope that you will spend this Christmas Eve with your family and friends, lighting a candle on the table and asking for intercession and protection for our defenders who defend our homeland. May all prayers be heard and God’s blessing enter every home. And may our common dream of a peaceful, free and happy life become a reality for us and our children!

Merry Christmas and a cozy New Year to everyone!

With best wishes,

Rector of Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University
