In Kyiv, the decision on installing the city's and Ukraine's main New Year's tree, as well as the format of celebrations, will be made after consultations with the command of the capital's defense forces, taking into account the security situation. Funds from the city budget for holding celebrations or installing a Christmas tree are not provided this year.
