KyivPride will return in 2021. The first gay Pride event in Kyiv took place in 2016 and only a couple of thousand people attended. The number of attendees doubled a couple of years later.

There’s still quite a way to go for LGBT+ rights in Ukraine. It’s certainly a more favourable place to be LGBT+ than its giant neighbour.

Statement from the organisers: “KyivPride is a Ukrainian non-governmental organization whose goal is to promote the achievement of full respect for human rights for LGBT + in Ukraine, to build respect for these rights in society by increasing the visibility and participation of LGBT + in social processes. In addition to its activities during the year, the NGO KyivPride organizes the largest and most prominent LGBT + events in Ukraine: the Equality March and the Pride Month.”
