Iryna Kolotylo,
lawyer:

“Even if it was possible, on Valentine’s Day I would like to have a date with my boyfriend. I think that he is the most interesting person in the whole world, and we would spend that day in some extraordinary, even crazy way.”

 

Kateryna Chere­dayek,
economist:

“I would definitely spend Valentine’s Day with my husband. I believe he would not understand me if I chose another Ukrainian. Frankly speaking, I want us to have a romantic dinner at a restaurant. We have not had a real date for a while, so spending time together would be the greatest gift for me.”

 

Oleksander Yatkevych,
financier:

“I would not choose any Ukrainian as I do not celebrate this holiday at all. I believe that Valentine’s Day is not of the Ukrainian origin and is not about real feelings, but about selling gifts.”

 

Olga Babak,
engineer:

“Our lives lack positive and memorable moments. I am glad that St.Valen­tine’s Day has come to Ukraine because it is a day of love, true feelings and sacrifice. A date with my boyfriend would be a perfect celebration.”

 

 

Artem Vasyuk,
student:

“If I had such a chance, I would spend this day with some famous football player as football is my hobby. When it comes to a romantic side of the holiday, of course, I would have a date with my girlfriend. Right now I have no idea how I would spend it, but it would definitely be a surprise, my girlfriend would always remember.”
