About 500 demonstrators protested in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv under heavy security for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. It was the first Pride march since the Russian invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago. Due to the martial law in place, permits for demonstrations are difficult to obtain. The first Pride demonstration took place in 2013 and was held regularly between 2015 and 2021.
