KyivPride organizers said on Friday they will be moving their “Queer Propaganda Fest” event to a later date after it was found the event can coincide with Holodomor Remembrance Day events scheduled for November 25.
Planned for November 23–24, “Queer Propaganda Fest” faced backlash over what many called out as a tone-deaf idea, it even made KyivPride issue an official apology.
“We regret that some perceived the festival as disrespectful to the Ukrainian tragedy. The event’s goal was purely educational and charitable. Yes, we acknowledge the mistake and sincerely apologize,” said the organization.
The story generated a strong public reaction. KyivPride admitted they had failed to check the calendar. Many were angered as it was initially reluctant about rescheduling the event.
Its apology also got mixed response. Some commentators on social media supported KyivPride for owning up to the mistake while others doubted their apologetic statement was earnest.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
