On January 7, 2026, the legendary boxer Vasyl Lomachenko congratulated everyone on the Nativity of Christ.

“Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Happy Nativity of Christ! May we, on this BRIGHT feast, become at least a little kinder and more humane toward one another!” Vasyl wrote.

He urged people to learn to understand, forgive, value, love, and respect one another. “And then this world around us will become at least a little BRIGHTER! Hugs to everyone! Peace to all,” Lomachenko wrote.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Vasyl Lomachenko spoke about the difference between the UOC and the OCU.
