Ukrainian New Testament

Новий Заповіт українською мовою - New Testament in Ukrainian

This is an attractive paperback edition of the full New Testament of the Bible in the Ukrainian language.  The cover has a linen type texture, and it is in a dark greenish blue.  The dimensions are 18.4 cm high x 12.4 cm wide x 1.6 cm thick.  It is produced by a German publisher.

There are some notes about Jesus at the beginning, and a reading plan with a suggested passage to read for each of 30 days.  At the end, there are lists of verses for 'Where to seek help when .....', 'Guide to life', and 'What the Bible says about .....'.

Ukrainian is the native language of 68% of Ukrainians, and Russian is the native language of 30%.  But Ukrainian is the language of education.  So Russian speakers can all understand Ukrainian, and many Ukrainian speakers also understand Russian.  When a Ukrainian and a Russian speaker meet, they can often each speak their mother tongue, and understand each other quite well.

82% of Ukrainians identify as Christian believers, so the Bible is important to them.  But of course they prefer to read the Bible in their own native language.  So I would advise asking whether they would prefer Ukrainian or Russian before offering them a Bible or New Testament.
