unique holiday traditions rooted
in that region's folklore and history.

can be used to gather the season's crops.

On Thursday, rescuers tirelessly worked to clear mountains of rubble from the aftermath of a devastating Russian missile strike on Ukraine's cherished city of Chernihiv. The attack, which claimed the lives of at least 18 individuals, has reignited urgent appeals for international allies to reinforce Kyiv's already overstretched air defence capabilities. Three Russian missiles struck the northern Ukrainian city on Wednesday, leaving harrowing scenes of destruction and pools of blood in their wake. Amidst the chaos, rescue teams tirelessly searched for survivors and evacuated the injured on stretchers, underscoring the urgent need for support in the face of escalating violence. The official death count rose to 18 as of Thursday morning, with 77 people including four children injured, according to Ukraine's emergency services department.
