Ukraine on June 28 marks the 22nd anniversary of its Fundamental Law, the Constitution. Constitution Day is an official holiday in the country, therefore June 28 in Ukraine is a day off.
The country's Constitution was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, in the early hours of June 28, 1996, which was the fifth year after the proclamation of Ukraine's independence.
Having spent almost 24 hours in continuous work in the session hall, Ukrainian lawmakers eventually passed the document with 315 votes in its favor.
The Fundamental Law came into force on the same day.
