The city's main Christmas tree has been installed on Derybasivska Street in Odesa. Local businesses are decorating their storefronts with festive decor.

This is reported by the correspondent NikVesti.

No budget funds were spent on installing the main Christmas tree in Odesa — it was installed by municipal service workers, said Ivan Liptuha, director of the culture department of the Odesa City Council.

We would like to remind you that Mykolaiv will not be setting up a New Year tree and holding citywide events for the upcoming holidays. This was explained by the security situation and the state of the budget.

At the same time, in Dnipro, the city's main Christmas tree is installed on Cologne Boulevard. And in Kharkiv, the main Christmas tree was installed at the «University» metro station. The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree in the metro was started in 2022.
