The State Border Service of Ukraine published an original video greeting for the New Year 2026, in which Santa Claus became the main character.

This creative action of the department continues the tradition of using the image of Santa to support the fighting spirit of citizens and demonstrate control over the state border. Last year, the DPSU also created similar content, which became a viral response to Russian propaganda videos. Today’s greeting of border guards reflects the current context of international support for Ukraine and strategic agreements with Western partners, which are key to protecting borders from Russian aggression.
According to the Eastern calendar, the year 2026 will pass under the sign of the Red Fire Horse, which embodies energy, speed and determination. Astrologers and researchers of traditions note that the combination of the element of fire and the image of a horse promises an extremely dynamic period, favorable for bold undertakings and active changes in life. The energy of the year of the Red Fiery Horse calls for indomitability in achieving the goal, which resonates with the main wish of Ukrainian border guards — victory and security for the entire country.
Earlier, the border guards reported that on December 5, St. Nicholas arrived in Ukraine through the Rava-Ruska checkpoint.
In Russia, propaganda Telegram channels share a video of how Russian air defenses shoot down Santa Claus in the sky over Moscow.
