What the numbers say
In 2026, Belarus has 10 nationwide public holidays and Ukraine has 11, so Ukraine gets 1 more day off. They line up on 4 dates, including Новы год, Мiжнародны жаночы дзень, Дзень працы and Каляды каталiцкiя.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Belarus has 7 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Ukraine (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Belarus offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Ukraine offers 4 and 2. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is January in Belarus and May in Ukraine.
