Original Note:
Russia observes Christmas Day on Jan 7 because the Russian Orthodox Church clings to the inaccurate Julian calendar. It has nothing to do with Slavs: https://myweb.ecu.edu/mccartyr/Russia.html#:~:text=Although%20the%20government%20officially%20accepted,Julian%20calendar%20on%20January%207. It’s understandable that Ukraine wouldn’t want to retain the traditions of the nation that is currently invading them.
