Video. Ukrainians sing carols, give performances, spread festive spirit in areas once occupied by Russia

In Ukraine, volunteers in handmade costumes performed traditional vertep, a form of Christmas theatre, in areas once occupied by Russian forces. In the Chernihiv region, Volodymyr Chapel led a group visiting homes and markets in Kyselivka.

Vertep, a 16th-century tradition suppressed during Soviet times, has revived, strengthening Ukrainian identity amid the ongoing conflict.
