European Parliament President Roberta Metsola donned a vyshyvanka this Thursday to show support with Ukrainians celebrating Vyshyvanka Day. 

The festival is celebrated every third Thursday of May and seeks to preserve the original folk traditions of creating and wearing ethnic embroidered Ukrainian vyshyvankas. 

The vyshyvankas are believed to have protective powers according to folklore. Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė invited European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, European vice-president Vera Jourova and Metsola to wear a vyshyvanka.

They were asked to wear it as a symbol of EU belief in the power of Ukraine. Metsola accepted the invitation and tweeted out: ‘Ukrainians’ fight for freedom is our fight too.’

If you aren’t excited enough for Stranger Things Season 4, which comes out after what seems to have been forever, it has been revealed that the last episode will be over two hours long. 

And the first instalment of the next season is set to drop in just a matter of days on Friday May 27th. The show’s creators have built up excitement with some exclusive information.

Matt and Ross Duffer revealed that two episodes in the upcoming season will be feature-length. That means two Stranger Things movies in one season. 

It was already known that the new season will be featuring longer episodes and more of them, but the Duffer brothers had not previously revealed just how long they would run for. 7 and 9 are set to be movies in their own right. 

They explained that this new season will be a big one, and given that the characters will be spread out over many locations, they had more plot to work with. 

They also stated that, since season five will be the last one, season 4 will be revealing a lot of vital information for what is to come for when it ends. And if you’ve forgotten what happened in previous seasons, you have around a week to binge them all.
