Malanka marks the culmination of the past and the ushering in of the new. It is a time when family and friends, irrespective of where they reside, come together to celebrate, showcasing the essence of unity.

In today's era, where many Ukrainians and people worldwide are distanced from their loved ones, this festival's theme underscores the importance of togetherness and the warmth of offline interactions. The message is clear: there's an innate feeling of support when close ones are near, even in the face of adversity.
