As announced on October 29 by the official website of the Ternopil Regional Council, this decision aims to promote the activities of Sheptytsky and recognizes the "significant public importance of the figure and legacy of this prominent Ukrainian."
It is noted that July 29, 2025, will be celebrated at the state level as the 160th anniversary of the birth of Andriy Sheptytskyi (1865-1944).
