Ukrainians in Warsaw gathered on the banks of the Vistula River to celebrate the traditional Ivan Kupalo Night, a solstice tradition that holds significance for the community. The event, organized by the Euromaidan-Warszawa social initiative, saw hundreds of participants, many of whom are war refugees.
The celebration included jumping over a bonfire and floating braids as a way to honor the elements of water and fire. Participants, dressed in traditional attire, engaged in the festivities with their families, children, and even pets. A small fair offering goods and fried sausages added to the festive atmosphere.
