In Switzerland, the Ukrainian community showcased its cultural traditions.

Representatives of the Ukrainian community in the canton of Solothurn and the dance group "Tanok" showcased vibrant Ukrainian traditions to the Swiss audience—lively Ukrainian songs from the folk ensemble "Malva" and energetic dances filled the stage.

As reported by Ukrinform, this was announced on Facebook by the Embassy of Ukraine in Switzerland.
